XL-H1 and JVC HD100 compatibility

Hello all. I am shooting a 48 hour film festival film and we are using the XL-H1 and HD100 as our A and B cam. I have limited experience with both so I have a few questions. First of all, I know that the Canon has Genlock but the JVC has none, what is the best way to sync timecode without using a slate? Also, how do the images compare between the two? I imagine that they both have to be on par with each other. Finally, we plan and capturing tapes as we shoot. I own an HV20 and we would like to use this as the deck to capture our tapes from both cameras. Will both of these cameras play back on the HV20? I read a comparison article of these two cameras on this site, and it stated that the 24F mode (which we plan on shooting in) is only compatible with the XL-H1. I don't know if this was written before the release before the HV20, but I have to image that it should be able to read it. If anyone has experience with this please let me know. Thanks for the info.

Mitch
