Rendering blu ray: 1920 or 1440?

I have some footage that I shot in 60i, using my XH-A1. I've imported it into Vegas Pro 8, done some editing and color correction, and am now about ready to render it into a DVDA Blu Ray format. The project settings (which I set to match the media) show up as 1440X1080. In the render settings, there are several 60i options. The final blu ray project will be viewed on a HDTV that can show 1920X1080i for TV, and 1920X1080p for blu ray media using the blu ray player. Given all that, should I use a 1920X1080 setting, or a 1440X1080 setting when I render?

Blu Ray can do both.... but if your original media is 1440 you won't get anything extra by rendering as 1920.... except of course a much longer render time.
