Your post is lacking information. What do you WANT?
Do you really care about the quality and want 4k if possible? Are you trying to scale media amount? In that case, 4k remuxes will need an insane amout of disk space compared to 1080p. Do you need to support multiple people streaming, so transcoding and bandwidth is relevant?
Without knowing what you want to achieve it’s impossible to make that choice.
If you are only playing the movie on the laptop on a 15" screen, resolution above 1080p doesnt matter all that much for movies.
If you are watching it on a large 4k tv - something like over 50" you have to consider the additional storage space, thats needed with the higher quality variant.
I am personally not so much considered with high resolution unless I watch a movie again and again and again. If you probably only watch it once, try out the 1080p version and find out if the quality is high enough for ya or if it is disturbing you.
