Is it better to encode with 640x320 with 1798 bitrate or 720x400 with 1278 bitrate?
That's a great question. It's a trade off between higher quality/lower rez or lower quality/higher rez. However, I generally go with the higher rez because I'm watching everything on a 60" 720P LCD HDTV, and I usually have no quality complaints.
Also, keep in mind that 1798 is a pretty high bitrate for such a low rez... those values in the chart are maximum bitrates and are only in place as a safeguard so people do not go over them. You could probably achieve lossless quality at ~1500 if you are going for 640x320.
