I'd say H.264 is the way to go when it comes to quality vs
bandwith, however you still need a proper player to support it.

What good is MPEG4 v10/AVC/H.264 if you need a different streaming
player (or commercial plugin) and even platform (server) for each
different streaming implementation by Real/Envivio, Apple,
Optibase, VBrick etc? 

WM9 seems to be going strong at the moment. Even Blu-ray
(http://www.blu-ray.com/) has adopted WMV9. The WM9 player also
supports protocol rollover (multi to unicast, udp, tcp) hereby
also fixing the NAT issue a lot of other clients still have
(including set top boxes).
