But let's see...
1024/768 = 1.333... aspect ratio.
1360/768 = 1.7708... aspect ratio.
1280/1024 = 1.25 aspect ratio..
So, the 1360x768 (1.77) is good for 16/9 monitors (16/9 = 1.77) like mine (I have 1366x768 native resolution, I'm on a laptop).

If your graphics card is similar to my nVidia 540M, then you will need to change the resolution (in the .dll file) to 13
66x768. Specifiying 1360x768 causes a CTD on startup. Since this is only a 0.4% difference, it looks fine at 1366x768.

The "native" SHIII resolution is (was) for 4/3 screens (4/3 = 1.33) and your native resolution 1280/1024 gives an aspect ration of 1.25, close enough to the 4/3 aspect ratio, but probably you will suffer some distortion...
In your case, the optimal resolution should be 1280x960 because 1280/960 = 1.33333 excatly the same aspect ratio of the 1024x768 version.
So, if you use the 1024x768 version you should be able to experience no distortion at all even if you will see two black borders, above and below the game frame. In essence I think you should go with 1024x768 version, but I really don't know for sure

With a 5:4 aspect ratio, it's not clear that any of the hi-rez fixes will work at all. But it is easy enough to find out, and there is never any permanent harm done. Might as well experiment. Finding out what works for you is usually far more productive than reading what someone else did.
