I started with 160 MP3, then gradually moved to, 192 VBR, 256 VBR then 320 VBR. I don't like to think that I "may" be missing out on anything. I have only just changed to 320 AAC for new encodes, so my MP3's a bit mixed up at different bitrates. I can definitely hear the difference below 192 VBR but above that it is very dependant on the complexity and type of music, plus the quality of your speakers, amps, headphones, etc. If you're not sure what to use I would suggest you start at 256 AAC. I can't tell the difference between this and any higher bitrates but I do them higher anyway, just in case.
