There are a million opinions here but this is a good rule of thumb:
gaming=720p or any other "p" resolution
movies & tv= 1080i is the same as 1080p
It has to do with framerate... "i" resolution interlace the image so they cannot display more than 30fps... In games, framerate can go higher so a "p" resolution, or a progressive resolution, can take advantage of this and show framerates faster than 30fps.
Anyway, there's also the problem whether your TV properly deinterlaces 1080i but from what I can find, it appears that it does. You might want to check more into it. If the Sony doesn't deinterlace properly, always use 720p.
