kino/dvgrab compatibility with 24p native, 25p PsF 50i, etc

hi all, was hoping for some advice, please.

I'm looking to upgrade my camcorder, to the Canon HV40.

I'm wondering whether to get the PAL or NTSC versions (I am in the UK), 
and I wanted to ask:

Does kino/dvgrab have any preference for any of the various HDV formats 
used by the two models?

The tapes are (apparently) written as:

PAL model - 50i only
    50i
    50i - 25p PsF

NTSC model - both 60i & 24p
    60i
    60i - 24p PsF	# not ideal because of telecine pulldown
    24p - native

The 24p native mode of the NTSC model looks interesting, but not if 
kino/dvgrab can't work with it, of course.

Does Kino work with the PsF formats? Does 24p native have any big 
advantage (or otherwise) over 25p PsF?

Any issues here I should be aware of, wrt my dvgrab/kino workflow?

thanks much indeed for any comments.

best regards,
calum.

PS - I'm assuming that my LCD TV doesn't much care, as it supports 50i, 
60i & 24p input.
