If you know, based on experience or based on experiment, what is a good bitrate to use, using the bitrate is the best way to calculate. If you only know what resolution and frame rate, you can estimate the bitrate. Remember that a live test is even better. Image sizes will depend heavily on motion. Make sure to add a big overhead if you estimate a system without being able to do live testing.
