Yup, I know that - hence the term "rough idea". With a lot of my antique footage you have a great deal of motion simply from scratches/artifacts/flicker on the old film, so I typically adjust accordingly. I was just looking for general guidelines as you say, for the different standard sizes. And far as parameters (this will be H.264 FWIW) I'm just looking at bitrate for these purposes - the rest I have optimized for my footage.
