The time of encoding, differences between 5 to 9 are ridiculous in the final size

Depends on your CPU...If you have a gig of RAM and fast processor - you can go to level 6 - no problem...

And as the someone else pointed out the returns arent as great in the upper levels - its not a linear thing...you might only pick up a few extra MBs in the 6-9 range...

If you have a older slow pc - you may not want to wait...

but to answer your question - no difference in quality...

I use 6.  The size difference between 6 and 8 is tiny.  The difference between 4 and 6 is big enough that an extra minute or two of encoding is worth it.
