When it comes to higher bitrate it's personal and depends of a lot factors.
There are pretty old public tests.

Yes, they're old but Apple encoder was always the best encoder in those AAC tests. And the last public AAC test also prooves it's true at 100 kbps.
There is also a good tester Kamedo2. He has tested AAC encoders
