Hi Claudio,

All the HD animations I've done are for the 1080i (1920x1080) 16:9 format. This format requires a square pixel.

Your quality should be fine using 72ppi at the 1680x1050 size though. Use the Animation codec to conserve disk space with too much of a hit on quality. Be prepared for long render times at 29.97fps though. If you don't alread have CarraraPro, getting it for this assignment would be good so you could use the the Render Node capabilties and reduce render time. Of course you'll need a second computer to be the node... ;)
