Configuring AAC encoder

Using BonkEnc v.1.0.16

Encoder
FAAC MP4/AAC Encoder v1.28

A few things. Just purchased an iPhone 4.
I have 300GB of FLAC music files i've been ripping.
I've not used iTunes software before nor have it installed yet on my WinXP SP3 PC.
I was planning on converting my FLAC music files to AAC to use with an iPhone.
I thought AAC being a newer technology would have a better compression/quality tradeoff than using a MP3. I'd like pretty good tradeoff of compression and quality. I was thinking something like 192kbps MP3 quality.
What settings do I use for AAC to use with iPhone4 and iTunes (on a PC)?
Quality:

Configuration:
Bitrate per channel or set quality by % ?

Stereo Mode:
Allow Joint Stereo or not?
Maximum bandwidth frequency to use (Hz)

Format:
AAC

AAC object Type:
MAIN
LC
LTP

Info tags:
Allow ID3v2 tags in AAC files?
It says Note: some players may have problems playing AAC files with ID3 tags attached. Does iTunes PC software and iPod player within iPhone4 have any issues with the ID3 tags? If so I should just go with MP3 files instead right?
