You know the image bracketing is a useful way for selection of the best exposure.
1.What's the best setting of image bracketing?
2.After photography with image bracketing, will it need to select the best image of exposure for autopano? Or if we select all of images bracketed to autopano, autopano will select the best exposure bracketed automatically?

Autopano will not select the best among several bracketed images.
You can select the best ones by yourself (one for each part of the subject) and then Autopano will adjust them provided AUTO (aka LDR color correction) is selected in the panorama editor. When AUTO is selected differences in brightness from one shot to the next will disappear in the stitched result. For example on cloudy days I often use a faster camera speed setting for the sky than the one I use for the ground and then leave Autopano adjust the brightness of the sky and the ground until they match. This works well when exposure difference between one shot and the next one is not larger than 2 EV.
When contrast is to high for a single image to be used for each of the subject parts, HDR mode should be used to let Autopano combine several bracketed images but in the present version this don't work very well (or not at all?)

I have taken a series of images with 3 bracketed settings for each set. I understand that I need to load all the images and then go to Edit>bracket so that APP will process three separate panoramas. However, I can't find the Bracket command anywhere in the Edit box. Where is it?

there still isn't a substitute for metering the scene you are about to photograph your image. This will still give you the best starting point for single and mutliple exposures.
Sorry for being so old fashion

PS: and before you go, I just use my histogram...then i like to see you do that when you are shooting something with a wider FOV then your lens can cover. Histogram works great for single exposures.
happy shooting
