Logically it would be 400x300 since you have the exact resolutions for your 4:3 ratio, but most of the time your compositing software or NLE (Non Linear Editing) system will prefer to use 400x304 for various reasons.
1 - Sometimes its encoding algorythm doesn't allow for perfectly square pixels
2 - Sometimes the algorythm needs a bit of a buffer zone
3 - Most of the time, 400x304 IS what you're system is running at, but settings will show 400x300 so that the user doesn't get confused.
Yet again, its a long explanation (you're good at asking questions that require alot of background on the science of digital compositing), lol, but if you want to learn more about it, I can recommend you a few good books.
