Best bluray properties in V12 & DVDA for multicam?

Hi,

I have finished a three-camera multicam film on a high school prom and would like your opinions on which bluray template to use in Vegas Pro 12 for rendering the video file (MPEG-2) and which video project format to use in the dropdown menu in DVDA for creating the bluray disc. Also, are the properties I used in Vegas Pro 12 the right ones the use?

Footage properties in Vegas Pro 12 (smart resampling on):

Two of the cameras are Sony HX-20V (full HD, AVCHD progressive, 50p, so 50 fps). These account for 70% of the footage used in the video. The properties used in Vegas Pro 12: AVC 1920X1080X12, 50,000 double pal, progressive scan, pixel format 1,000.

The third camera is a Canon Legria HV40 (HDV 1080i, 25fps), properties in Vegas Pro 12:
MPEG-2, 1440x1080x12, 25,000 PAL, upper field first, pixel format 1,3333 (HDV1080)

The different frame rates proved an obvious challenge in the synchronization of the footage.
I rendered the video file in Vegas Pro using the MainConcept MPEG-2 Blu-ray 1920x1080-24p, 25 mbps template. No re-rendering needed in DVDA.
1)Should I have used the 1920x1080-50i, 25 mbps template instead?
2) In DVDA I created a bluray disc using the MPEG-2, 1920x1080, 24p 16:9 template in the new bluray dropdown menu. For optimal results, would the 50i version of the template work better in this case?

Help appreciated, as always.

I don't know why one would render to a different frame rate (24p) than the common, native frame rate of your footage. (25i and 50i are really the same thing. 25 frames = 50 fields)

Put all your footage in a BluRay 50i (25i) 1920x1080 project, turn resampling OFF, Render to an AVC BluRay template with rendering quality at Best, and enjoy the resulting BluRay. (1080 50p is not a BluRay spec).
