if you are happy with the editing you have done than you don't need to worry about how you upload it. The only thing i can think of is too upload the video in HD.

I haven't uploaded directly from final cut in awhile. I normally send it to the compressor and choose the 1080p option which automatically sets the codec to h.264 and makes it as small as possible.
When I was uploading directly from final cut I would loose a ton of quality exporting it with h.264 but it would take 3+ hours to upload if I tried to keep the quality. Basically, use compressor if you can. If you can't, export it to h.264 for a fast upload or export to high res if you don't mind waiting forever for it to upload.

Yeah I think it is. The program I'm enrolled in college included it the cost of the classes so I got it "free". Even so, I'd say it's worth investing in. It's totally possible to export from final cut, but I was never able to get the file small enough while also maintaining quality until I started using compressor.
