I'd use Compressor and choose Best for the Resize Filter the Frame Control pane. The added processing time is slight and the image is noticeably better.
If Compressor's Geometry pane is baffling, remember: the input image area minus its crop is mapped onto the output image area minus its padding.
also, it allows you to preview the result.
at the top right of the preview window are two small buttons,
left previews the original, right previews the outcome.
