Twitch and Youtube (and all other web based players) are optimized for 16:9 aspect ratios.
Your display is a 16:10

I've heard 1200:720 is the best but I don't have it, which of these is the best 16:9, because these are all the options I have

It is best to just use a 1080p monitor (1920x1080).

What are you use the recordings for? Using it for YouTube?
If uploaded as 1680x1050 to YouTube, it will only be 1152x720 as a "720p".

You can manually type in a scaled resolution.
Can get a much better YouTube results if you manually upscale to 1728x1080 as a 1080p, keeping the same 16:10 ratio.

On Twitch streaming, no upscaling is needed at all, can simply stream as 1680x1050 and viewers can see it as 1050p or source.

Thanks, I didn't know you could do it manually.
