Bloom effect mixes colors so it looks more colorfull(and its also lighter).
I think if you set fixed(and max) anisotropic filtering(in GK properties) filtering it looks better.
For antialiasing leave it default as it looks blurry with higher values.

Here is description of graphic effects:
(from game itself, but it was never activated)
Spoiler!

I only use it when doing screenshots. Dont have the best grfx card on my pc. Yes, it makes gameplay grfx cooler.
