Good bitrates and resolutions for streaming?

What combos of bitrates and resolutions do you use for streaming xvid/ogg files in acceptable quality?

I was thinking of something like;

1280x720 Video 1.2Mbps Audio 128Kbps

960x540 Video 900Kbps Audio 96Kbps

720x405 Video 700Kbps Audio 64Kbps

400x225 Video 400Kbps Audio 45Kbps

All the videos are at 50fps.

the bottom one, a lot of people have poor connections, also 50fps is a lot for streaming, i'd say 30 max.

I plan to use all of them those are the different options I'm planning to have, the videos were captured at 50fps so I don't see a reason to cut down the rate.

30 ish fps and 50 fps isnt noticeble , but 50 fps needs almost half more the space as 30 fps needs...

50fps doesn't need more space than 30fps because mpeg encoding is interframe it certainly looks smoother though.
