I think this is best - what I'd expect to be a bad option is for us to encode in some compressed format, then have the streaming service tear that apart and re-encode in yet another lossy format. You're going to lose twice. So I always upload uncompressed.

You Tube seems to like 44.1 instead of 48 for some reason, but I doubt that makes much difference compared to the other mangling they do. For my videos, I usually use 48kHz, 24 bit.

The video editors I use (Final Cut, Premiere, After Effects), will all let you specify the audio file quality and other aspects in fine detail. And I also often use the approach of loading the final movie into Logic, synched with the original audio mix. So I end up exporting the Logic full-quality audio rather than trusting the video encoder.
