I guess download sizes might matter somewhere in the world, but can't you just wait until you have WiFi, if you live somewhere where mobile bandwidth is expensive?
I think it's better if the file is high quality and a bit too big, because you can always transcode it to a lower quality file, but if the original file is of low quality, you can't fix that.
Having said that, I noticed that my upload was at a relatively low bit rate (under 64kbps). Let me explain that though... I used a variable bitrate setting in ffmpeg and set the quality to 3. The Best quality setting would have been 1 and the lowest is something like 64? So I was trying to make a high quality file. Now that this thread made me notice, I changed my script and set the bit rate at 128kbps. Should I update my file here?
