If I want to have 60fps footage to match with 1080 24fps, 720 60p or 1080 60i?

For my latest project, I'm using an HMC-150. I want to shoot some things in 60fps so I can do slo-mo on them. Most of the footage is 1080 24fps.


What is the best way to do that? Should I use the 1080 60i or the 720 60p? The film will, ideally, get on TV if that helps solve things.
 
I'd go with the 720. You're going to lose vertical resolution when you deinterlace 1080i anyway, and ultimately it's better to keep everything progressive. You will, however, have less horizontal resolution, but with AVCCAM footage, 720 blows up to 1080p remarkably well.

You can, of course, shoot some footage and see which you find more acceptable.
