I think it depends. Chasecam stuff is interlaced, most camcorders are interlaced, but some are progressive.

I'm not sure what I prefer. Most of the time I use a computer screen to view them, so progressive is better, but it's easier to deinterlace footage to progressive (so I have a TV/DVD and a PC version) than it is to interlace progressive to interlaced, if you see what I mean.

The downside of interlaced is that each frame is quite blurry, so frame-by-frame ends up being rubbish. And deinterlacing this doesn't improve matters.
