Well, if size doesn't matter you can use '-K hi-res' :-)
What I use for high quality encoding is a custom table made up of
the hi-res Intra matrix with the tmpgenc nonIntra matrix and then
-K file=myfile

kvcd's claims to fame are 1) smaller filesizes (lower bitrate) and 2)
reduced splotchiness (pixelization I think is the term used) during
dark scenes. The kvcd folks never made any claims about increased
quality.
For old VHS movies that have been run thru yuvdenoise and/or the
medianfilter the use of kvcd tables won't really hurt the picture too
much more. A good reason to use the kvcd tables in this situation
would be to reduce the blocks/splotches during dark scenes.
Experimentation is an important part of the process - try it and see
what happens.
