i would absolutely go with the MP4 container and h.264
you choices will be limited to begin with as the High profile doesnt work for SD, so you will be stuck with baseline or main. use cabac on main. go for a bitrate around 2mbps for decent quality and dont upscale it to HD unless its shot in 16:9 format....then try the upscale and see if you like it but remember most people will do that anyway by making it full screen....its better to keep it SD and raise the bit rate than to up res it to hd and get much larger files.
hope this helps
