Codecs and compression

Trying to figure something out. Take a camera that can record 1080P and 720P. Say it's got a codec with a 50mb/sec data rate. If you're shooting a moving subject, or panning or have a scene with a lot of moving details, would you get a better result recording at 720 because the codec is having to process a lot less info and so has less break-up? So it'd be better to shoot 720/25P than 1080/25P in some situations?
