Since H.264 has a better quality for the same bitrate, I recommend putting H.264 first in the list since any browser that supports both formats (e.g., Chrome) will pick the first in the list. The problem with the video tag is that IE doesn't support it, but I think Flash can be used as a backup. I don't know what we should do in that case since that would require three versions.
