opinions on shooting DOCUMENTARIES

[accidental anarchist]

do you all sway one way or the other on shooting docs?
24p or 60i
i know, i know, it depends on such and such...... but your opinions and reasons matter ......and would be a great help.

3 things to consider:
Production point of view: A-Technical: Are you confident in shooting 24p or 24pa mode, since it is less forgiving than 60i.... B-Artistic: Do you enjoy filmic look? When you watch docs shot on 60i(or 30p) video, does the look satisfy you?
Post production pov: Are you capable of editing 24fps material? How much B-rolls are you gonna have? In what formats are they gonna be? (Easier to combine 24p with 60i on the same timeline)
Distribution pov: On what media are you going to distribute it? Are you thinking to blow it up to film?
