Choosing reactance of LC tank for crystal oscillator
It's all about XL relative to the 1 kohm resistor. 

If XL is too high in value relative to the 1 kohm, then the tank circuit will be too low in Q and the circuit may not oscillate. If XL is too low, the Q will be higher and there may be too much distortion in the sine wave output. Also, with a highly resonant tank it may be more troublesome to align its resonant frequency with that of the crystal i.e. it may also be more fiddly to set up as well as producing a more distorted output when aligned.

Also, there is no great benefit taking XL much lower in value than that needed for reasonable sine wave oscillation.

I recommend that you use a free sim tool and play around with values. You can mimic the crystal if you search on-line for an equivalent circuit.
