i'd reccomend 85hz or better, with 75 being the absolute minimum. the reason the refresh rate decreases as you increase resolution is because it's more difficult for the video card/monitor to refresh as quickly with more total pixels on the screen

It makes a big difference if you think it does. If it looks like there's a big difference to you, then I guess so. Generally, the higher it is, the better it looks. Some monitors get blurrier, though. Personally, I can't tell the difference between 85 and anything above. I normally have my monitor running 75Hz@1280x960 because it can't go any higher.
