It's pretty simple actually for SC2. Resolution does not matter at all, whether you run 1200 x 600 or 2400 x 1200 does not matter at all as they are the same ratios (just made those two ratios up for this example). Sure you will see everything a bit sharper and detailed with the high resolution, but you will not see more of the battlefield. The only thing that matters is the aspect ratios, the wider the better. This means 16 : 9 has an advantage over 16 : 10 (a small one though).

As someone else pointed out there is a nother thread with a .gif animation that explains it all.

update:


Notice how the vertical area is always the same regardless of resolution and aspect ratio, the horizontical however is not.
