There's no benefit to capturing ProRes and editing AIC. Your best bet is to capture ProRes and edit in ProRes. I do it all the time with no problems. It's always best in FCP to edit in the same codec as you capture. Otherwise you have to render before output.
Did you check to see if your clip setting match your sequence settings? The fact that it looks good in the viewer and not the canvas is a great clue to your problem. The canvas always plays in the file's native codec and resolution. The viewer plays in the Sequence setting's codec and resolution.
Finally you could consider capturing in HDV and editing in HDV. That also works well if you set the Render Control Codec to Apple ProRes. That way your clips stay in economical HDV and your renders are saved in ProRes. It's the User Preferences, Render Control Tab.
