PAL or NTSC for Youtube uploads. Do you care?

I googled this a bit and found no conclusive answers.

I can export either, and YT accepts both. NTSC is US standard but I will send it to people in a few different continents.

Do you have a preference? PAL is better quality on paper but I just don't know.

What format are the original files? I'd imagine the funky frame rate conversions will lose a fair bit of quality if you go from NTSC to PAL or vice versa.

It's a bit of a mishmash of tons of different files, from DVX footage to ripped youtube (with permission) to a bunch of OGGs.

I did it in NTSC this afternoon. I can't see much difference. It could be better even. To my eye, Handbrake seems to be handling the fade to blacks better than with PAL, but I could be imagining it as I've altered the vid since then.

Fade to blacks are a nightmare on YT.
