Best video format for Vimeo and Youtube

Hi there experts:

I'm been trying to figure out the best format for uploading quicktime videos to Video and Yoututbe. Vimeo acepts .mp4, .mov and other formats but not the format generated by quicktime when video exported as "Full Quality", so, I'm trying to figure out what is that "full quality" in a forrmat generaly accepted for vimeo and others like .mp4 and .mov. I'm been exporting as "Expert Setting", then export Quicktime movie, then save as MPEG-4, and then under setting I'm basicly putting everything automatic. The quality is good but I think it can be much better. In fact I need it to be very close to the quality of "Full Quality" because vimeo converst the file to Flash 8 and the quality is reduced in the convertion, not to mention youtube that uses Flash 7. ... any thoughts out there? thnaks for any help.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.7)
