Cool stuff man.
You're trying to convice your client to go with the HVX to show him it's network/ broadcast quality.
My question is this... Do I need to go HD to make a commercial look good enough to show on TV? I've got a DVX and got hired to shoot a commercial, do I need to rent an HVX? That's the main question, and if you have time, please take a look at these little questions.
if I can use my DVX, I want to shoot progressive, but do I have to worry about the Cable stations wanting 29.97 footage so it'll play correctly in their system? Can I shoot 29p and not worry about problems on their end?
I've got a DVX and have shot tons of everything, but never a commercial that will play on TV. Please, any do's or don't would help a ton.

Me and my partner have done a bunch of commercials with the DVX. But I wouldn't say that any of them really approached "network" quality (which, to me, means they look like they were shot on 35mm or at least S16). The HVX has some added "HD" features that (IMO) get you there --- more detail, better color space, variable frame rates, etc...
As for your 24p question, the DVX doesn't shoot a true progressive 24p. It shoots 24pa which is 24 over 60. If you want to make it true 24p, you have to strip out the extra frames. In other words, what looks like 24p on the DVX is actually 29.97 with a 3:2:2:3 pulldown (or some variant thereof). That means you'll be fine going to broadcast.
