Shooting a project for the web at DVinfo.net

I have a 2 day shoot coming up and will be shooting 24p. Should I be using 2:3:3:2 pulldown like I'm going to film or 2:3 to be played back at 30 fps? Or is this more specific to how it will be finished in post?

I personally would do 30P for web stuff...

Shooting 24p with 2:3 pulldown will only add complex interlacing that the web video encoder will have to deal with.

Shoot 24p 2:3:3:2, edit in a 24p timeline, and encode at 24p. Most of the videos I put on the web are WMV 24p. Having 24 instead of 30 frames means more bits/frame, thus better quality in the same size bitstream.
