What workflow are you using? And what, exactly, is it you aren't happy with as far as quality?

Treat it like any other project: use ProResLT to edit and export. Once you're done and have exported a FCP movie, use Compressor or MPEG StreamClip to do the conversion to a YouTube-ready file.
 
I personally compress straight out of FCS. A 6 minute video usually hits around 80MB or so.

File>Export>Using Quicktime Conversion
LAN (from drop down)
Options>size>(1080p or 720p)
 
I Usually export via compressor / h.264 / frame reordering OFF / multi pass / size 100% source It's looks good but I have seen better
 
For what it's worth, I have never had a good experience exporting via Compressor. I always export a self-contained FCP movie at current settings, then use Compressor or MPEG StreamClip after quitting FCP.

Both programs have some decent presets.
 
I always export with Compressor unless a plugin is glitchy. The quality of the x264 encoding almost always depends on the bitrate/frame size. On some projects I have to export 20-30 individual sequences and I couldn't imagine having to baby the computer while I exported via FCP for each one. Compressor allows me to just send everything over in a batch.
 
Let me correct my question> What is the best export to get the crisp clean look at 360.

I ahve watched a few Youtube videos that when played at 360 looked amazing! I didnt have to play in HD
