Smooth Slow Motion - 24P to 29.97

I am looking for some tested formulas for slow motion from progressive (30P or 24P) footage from the DVX that will translate best back to 29.97 display.

I read in Marucs Van Bavel's book that the only usable setting for 24P footage was 50%, but this is for film transfer and doesn't work well for output back to 29.97.

I tried 30P footage and at 50% it translates perfectly as a 1 frame to 2 frame split. But with frame blending it looks a litle fuzzy and with out it, it is a little notchy.

I haven't bothered playing with the footage in After Effects yet as I am trying to get as close as possible in FCP first.

I bit the bullet and bought Boris Continuum Complete which has an 'Optical Flow' filter with it that does an amazing job at slowing down 24p footage. Although, it takes forever to play with the settings on each clip, and then the render time is horrendous as well. But the results are pretty nice.
