I upload videos to Youtube often so I would like to know which setting will offer the best resolution and frame rate.

High Quality 1080p HD is one pass variable bit rate with a target bit rate of 20 Mbps using Hardware encoding if available.

YouTube 1080p Full HD is one pass variable bit rate with a target bit rate of 16 Mbps using Hardware encoding if available. 

Image quality should be about the same; however, the file created via YouTube 1080p Full HD should be about 80% smaller resulting in a faster upload.

You can queue both at the same time in Adobe Media Encoder by using the Add Output button, compare the results, and upload whichever one you prefer.

Both options you mentioned give you the same resolution (1080p) so doesn;t matter.

As for frame rate, this depends on the frame rate of your sequence.

But which is better quality 1080P? Is it even noticeable?

They're the same. 1080 is 1080. And I think those are both using long-GOP interframe codecs.

 

Check the bit rates between them, see if there's a difference there. Higher bitrates have typically more fine details.

 

For intraframe codecs like ProRes, the DNx variants, or Cineform, you select Q by which form of that codec you select.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...
