Hi Aric,
the answer depends on where you are sending your footage.
that advantage of 24p is that is easily cross converts between NTSC compatible 29.97fps (insert a 2:3 pulldown) and PAL compatible 25fps (by speeding it up 4%) I know HD isn't strictly PAL/NTSC but the frame rate thing still applies for those areas.
Converting 30p to 25p is MUCH harder to do well, or even acceptably.
If you're not distributing to PAL/SECAM countries then 24p might not matter.
if you're distributing only over the internet there are other caveats. 24p still compresses and play back better at higher resolutions. 30p is a bit of a strain for some older computers (or with Flash, at HD, even for some newer computers). Over at vimeo.com they had a hell of a time with this.
An then many feel that 24p retains that "film look" a little better than 30p with the increased frame rate 30p may start to look a little more videoy, but that's a personal choice.
