Syncing Ex1 and 5D footage

I've shot interviews with the sony ex1 at 1080 24P and the 5D mk2 at the same 1080 24P. I want to work with everything in prores so I'm using MPEG Streamclip to convert footage from both cameras. At first I converted everything to 1080 24P. However I was warned against editing within FCP at an editing timebase of exactly 24fps. http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/8/1101366

So I converted everything using the frame rate 23.98 however now my footage will slowly fall out of sync. What would be the best solution here when trying to snyc the two camera together in post using converted prores files.
 
If both cameras shot at 24p (actually 23.98 or 23.976), then when transcoding in MPEG Streamclip DO NOT type anything into the frame rate box, leave it blank, it converts and leaves the frame rate exactly as shot. Then drop the footage into a Final Cut 24p sequence, everything should be fine.

24P on the 5D and Ex1 is actually 23.97. So there is no need to do any conversion.
