A proper 1080p source will give slightly smoother motion than a 1080i one. Or at least this is my experience.

Is pretty good at explaining 3:2 pulldown for 24fps video if anyone is in any doubt.

 

Where did you get that a proper 1080P source will give slightly smoother motion than a 1080i one?

From watching 1080i and 1080p videos

Im sure they are the same info for 24fps video. But the main problem is most tv's dont do some form of direct multiple of 24 for the refresh rate. The 120Hz sets are the way forward for this. I'm more concerned about judder caused by forcing 24fps into 60Hz. For these tv's 3:2 pulldown will have to happen somewhere either on the hd-dvd/blu-ray player or on your tv. Though i'm aware this is a problem which affects both hd-dvd and blu-ray. It's more of a tv problem really.

Go blu-ray :) Why not have 20gb of extra space :) (yes im ignoring 3 layer hd-dvds because no-one uses them)
