Sequence Settings for HVX-200a 24PA and Final Cut Pro 7

What are the highest quality sequence settings for 1080i 24PA footage coming from the HVX?

My easy setup settings are:
Format: Apple ProRes 422
Sequence Preset: Apple ProRes 422(HQ) 1920x1080 24p 48KHz
Capture Preset: HDV-Apple ProRes 422(HQ)

Although the imported footage conforms the sequence settings to:

Vid Rate: 23.98fps
Frame Size: 1280x1080
Compressor: DVCPRO HD 1080p30
Pixel Aspect: HD 1280x1080

Just making sure I'm using the best settings for HD Download and DVD distribution. I'm not concerned about editing in legacy footage.

Thanks!
 
Use a DVCPROHD Timeline at 1280x720- you gain nothing with a 1080p ProRes sequence. Exporting the final product to ProRes would be the same net effect with a lot less rendering along the way.
