I’m not sure what compisition preset to use.
The last time I did anything in After Effects was in school 9 years ago. I am not sure what composition size to use. I am doing a video for a client that will be seen on the internet. I want this video to be higher quality than what is needed for the internet. I would like them to be able to use it for other things. Only I do not know what else they might use it for. I just want to deliver to them a high quality product. This is actually an animated video that they will use for a New Years card to their clients.
I would your suggestions!

I might suggest sticking with 29.97 fps in the US as the lowest common denominator. Two reasons:
1) 29.97 requires less bandwidth than 59.94 for streaming.
2) You can always go from 29.97 to 59.94 and have it look the same, but you cannot go from 59.94 to 29.97 and have it look the same. 59.94 is a higher, smoother frame rate; you might make motion design choices that look great at the high frame rate, but appear to stutter at the lower frame rates.Walter Soyka

If it’s going online and just made of graphics, you could make it 4K (3840×2160), 29.97 fps. UHD, as some call it, is becoming more common on YouTube now and a lot of new monitors or computers (such as an iMac) are more than capable of viewing it at that resolution. You could always down-convert for other purposes if necessary.
