This one?
The description says it is designed for 1024x768 resolution. The WS version - for 1360x768. My resolution is 1280x1024. Will it work OK?
Really don't know for sure, because I use the 1024x768 even if I plan to switch to the 1370x768 some time in the future (I play on a laptop with a native resolution of 1366x768).

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).

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
