Sorry if I miss any thing that is common sense haha.
Essentially, Illustrator produces an image using mathematical calculations to make it to where it is infinitely scalable. A vector graphic is just as happy on a 100' by 100' banner as it is on a 3" by 5" notecard. Photoshop, on the other hand, produces an image by dividing it up into pixels. Small images don't upscale well, but vector graphics do. In short, I definitely recommend that you use Illustrator to make your banner. Doing so makes your pixel count question irrelevant, anyway.
