720p progresive is better and you dont want conversion issues.
Not nessisaraly true as 720p is still only 720 lines of resolution progressive is simply that the lines are all drawn from top to bottom all at once where interlaced is every other line starting with the odd lines and then the even. Progressive is good for fast motion video like sports but for movies with more slow pans and stationary shots 1080i will still give better results as there are far more lines of resolution being seen. If your display supports it, it is usually the better way to go for most movies.
