For mine, the main issue with wide panos and the web is that screens are 4:3 [and a bit wider now on laptops] but a 360 deg pano is about 12:1 so if shown full size to fill a screen [as it normally is] then it will be maximum 100 high and the whole effect is lost. Scroll bars can solve that to some extent but the thrill of seeing a 360 deg pano "doing the circuit" several times with "no start nor end to be seen" is lost.
The first attempt I found [back in 2000] to display in a "rotating engine" was: this site [opens in a separate window], using PTViewer engine.
A recent breakthrough came in a jalbum skin called artepanorama: this skin [opens in a separate window]
IMHO this engine is far better then the earlier models and is the one used at this site, and I would recommend this skin to anyone wishing to make their own album of panos
