Hello,
In your case I would recommend to use the following settings for the product images http://prntscr.com/dj8xy6
If you want to make all the products images one size use hard crop option and regenerate thumbnails after that (Tools > Regenerate thumbnails).
But better to upload product images with the same proportion for all the products you have, then you will get nice grid.
