It's all a bit simpler than you're thinking. There are saved setting names for Output Modules and Render Settings. Those include all the inner details of them. I am looking to add new ones on the fly and offer them up in a UI Panel. It will make the whole process of submitting a project or individual comps easy for the individual while offering control to the leads to set the standards (as always). I found some answers here:

Others will have to answer these; I don't have answers
for any of the below q's.

You mean a template for all the settings that output files
can be, like the gazillions of quicktime options, compression
preferences, etc?
Yikes.
Sounds like quite a bit of heavy UI and backend integration.
Just curious: why not let the users manage these settings
in AE's own output module interfaces in its queue? Once the
queue's output module settings are saved in the .aep file,
the renders will use them.
Or is the idea to automate control over certain options
to force them for a particular show's prefs?

No ideas from me; I just grepped the entire AE SDK and
Script Guide for those extensions and came up with nada.
If AE provides this, it doesn't seem to be documented.

Gak, this sounds like rewriting AE's UI..
