No traffic in class 1 means that class2 and class3 will share the same
bandwidth, but only 80 as maximum. So the bandwidth of class1 (20) is
isolated like you can set with cbq.
Htb is straight forward. Each class will get's his rate as a minimum. The
remaining bandwidth is devided according to the rate (and lowest priority
gets first choice) and this with a maximum of the ceil.

I didn't tried, but I think htb will do fine (or even better).
