If you are concerned about quality and can afford the extra
storage, use "-h -b 192".   Right now it will produce
the best quality.  

VBR has the potential to be better at smaller filesizes,
and our VBR code is getting better all the time, but
I still think it is not competitive with CBR with the
same average bitrate.
