16:10/9 make the most sense. Why? Because the human eyes are placed side by side, therefore your field of vision is considerably wider than it is tall, same reason cinemas are shaped as they are.
NTSC doesn't have a horizontal resolution per-se, the scanlines are non-discrete analog signals. The arrangement of the phosphors is up to the TV manufacturer. And the aspect ratio there is 4:3, not 16:9.
I see some people referring to NTSC as 768x480, but I think this might be in reference to digital conversion (capture cards) or their notion of "effective resolution."
