I prefer f4v to the older flv codecs. Better quality at matching bitrates.
Bitrate is going to depend on your delivery/streaming options of course.
Most of the time I will try to make a 600-800k stream for slower connects... and something in the 1.5 to 2mb stream for standard connects.
The next consideration is development/production time. You can run single pass encodes at a constant bitrate all day long relatively quickly depending on your render/server rig... but a 2 pass or more encode using variable bitrate will leave you with far less artifacting, and smoother playback.
Audio settings at least for porn you can typically use pretty standard settings... I haven't seen the necessity for a 160k audio stream of screams and moans.
