Here is a video showing the same scene shot with all different types of settings. I must say that this is not the end all be all though. It just simply shows that for simply watching videos of a static scene you will not see any color difference between the various settings. The color profile you choose has a much greater affect on that than anything else.

If you really want to tear the footage apart in editing and break it down to individual colors you will see a slight difference. For instance in Green Screen work you could see a difference in individual colors.

The things that are affected the most are noise(for better or for worse depending on what you want) and compression artifacts in constantly changing scenes.

Really no one can tell you what you want except for you. If you are going for ultimate quality with ultimate editing capability then you probably are going to end up with GOP = 1 very high bit rate videos. However, you really should ask yourself is your end product going to just nulify those benefits in the end anyway?

If you have to compress your video back down to streaming bit rates in the end then it really won't matter as much about what your source is.

The best thing to do is start out with settings that don't require you to change anything about how you are filming(ie: Memory Cards or vastly greater storage space). Try the settings in the video below. Shoot the things you would normally shoot and edit them as you normally would. If there are things that bother you about the footage then move up to higher settings and see if those correct your issues.

Starting out with the highest settings possible might just fix a problem you don't currently have.
