Olabode,

This depends on your system.

If you are on a Mac use Prores or ProresHQ.

If you outline your system and NLE, people here will be able to give you more advice.

The other option, outputting from AE would be the Animation codec, if you want a matte included use Animation+. The files will be large though.

Or prores 4:4:4:4 which, at last, is a non-RLE codec with alpha.
