320 x 180 is modern aspect ratio but lowres enough to feel retro.

I reference this list a lot:

384 x 216 is my go to as it scales perfectly with HD screens at x5...

Don't forget to check out the summer art challenge. If you hold off on submitting your backgrounds until the challenge starts, they would qualify ;)
