The pixel I would think... but yes, ideally, we need 2 integers.
The display aspect ratio is a different thing and can be deduced from
the combination of pixel aspect ratio and display resolution. That is,
for a 1:1 pixel (most cases), the display resolution alone. The pixel
ratio is really only useful for things like stretched modes on flat
panels.
