The best answer is to not design for any resolution. Your layout should be fluid and fill the screen's usable space regardless of resolution.
Jakob Nielsen has stats on resolution distribution and how to approach resolution deisgn. Read Nielsen's article here: http://www.useit.com/alertbox/screen_resolution.html
Jakob Nielsen is the recognized expert on web usability. His stats tend to err on the side of less-capable users, but if there's ever a question about making your site ideal for as many users as possible, Nielsen is the guy to check with.

You should go with the smallest popular resolution. 1024x768 is not a good idea - while it's the most popular resolution, there are a lot of people who use 800x600 as well. So your size should be less than 800x600. Making it more than that or close to 800x600 will cause a horizontal/vertical scrollbar for 800x600 users.

Depends on what size you're designing for. Generally you want your site to be ~800px wide with a fluid height.
