You can choose these profiles based on your encoding Bitrate. The encoding video resolution does not matter to select the profiles.

Based on your source bitrate, you can choose a combination of the profiles. For example, if the source encoding of the stream is at 5 Mbps bitrate, then recommended profiles or stream qualities will be 4 Mbps (Bitrate > 3 Mbps, so HD), 2 Mbps, and 1 Mbps. In this scenario, you need 1*HD and 2*SD profiles.

1*HD = 25USD

2*SD = 12.5 USD + 12.5 USD = 25USD

So a total of 50 USD per month you need to pay. Also, note that 50k Video Transcoding & Recording Minutes charge 20 USD.
