Output DNxHD 220x or ProRes HQ 422 as your “master” formats. Generally each film festival will have delivery specs. If they require a DCP, I suggest paying the lab fee for them to make one, in which case you can deliver them either of the above to prep one for you.
DVD is, of course, DVD so it’s MPEG-2 and Premiere has output settings optimized for that.

If you aren’t able to do ProRes then DNxHD (either MXF or MOV wrapped) should be fine https://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/download/Avid-Codecs-LE-2-3-9
As far as h.264, I would do whatever you consider suitable quality for YouTube or Vimeo. This will probably act as your submission screener. Again, I hesitate to spit out a dozen different formats without knowing submission specs – things can be all over the place, especially preferred sound mix and channel assignment (I hope you have at least a left-center-right mix for festivals).
