Slow Motion and Settings at DVinfo.net

I'm about to do an outdoor shoot with the FS700 at 240fps and a bit confused about what basic frame rate to set the camera - 24p or 60p? I thought I had read you get slightly better bitrate when doing 60p (28 vs 24), but is this compatible with the 240fps slow motion? I'm doing tests right now on my setup day but was hoping someone with more experience might have a better idea of what works best. I'm having a bit of a brain freeze here trying to figure this out, but I clearly see running at 60p halves my clips! I probably have my answer right there...

Thanks.

I've got it figured out, so no worries...
