Well, you just have to test it for yourself to see what you like.

I did a quick test for you to perhaps give you a starting point:

Source is uncompressed Tears of Steel 1080p.
Base command line is x264 --preset veryslow --tune film --level 4.1

"Without b-frames" is with added --bframes 0.
"Pbratio 1" is with --pbratio 1.0 --no-mbtree.
"+10%" is with 10% bitrate added.



As you see the differences aren't that big, and without b-frames might even be better than with big b-frames and without mbtree.
