Don't select a format based on the source. Select it based on the end user. Very few people will either want or have the connection speed for a 1+ gig file for something that's just five minutes long.
All computer displays are progressive, so when you select a format choose a "p" (progressive) output. Be sure to also apply any deinterlacing controls to improve the look. If you get lots of jagged lines during movement you know you've got the wrong deinterlacing options selected.
If you select an HD format H.264 be sure to 1) choose the High Profile and 2) also offer a standard def version at 720 or even a little lower.
