Also, is it worth using the unaltered AC3?

Depends on the situation. If with AAC you can half the filesize with little or no noticable degredation in quality, then that might be a consideration for you. If you are adamant on getting the absolute best quality, then just mux the AC3 and avoid transcoding; but bearing in mind what I just said, if you can more or less halve the bitrate, then that frees up 43MB extra to encode the video. It's important to balance the audio and video quality. I can't think of much more annoying things than having awesome audio and blocky shit video, or good video and 56kbps MP3 audio (ala default Fraunhofer encoder, which I've seen people use before).
