Vegas Pro 12 offers the following PAL templates. What will determine which one I should use since PAL only plays 25fps.

HDV 720-25p (1280x720, 25.000 fps)

HD 720-50p (1280x720, 50.000 fps)

What is the frame rate of your source material?

The frame rate differs from the GoPro 100fps and the Canon HF S200 50fps which can be mixed in a project.

The play back rate will always be 25fps so why would I use 50fps?

PAL is also 50i (interlaced) and 50p (progressive). 1280x720 @50fps progressive is a BluRay standard and will give you smooth playback compared to 25fps. But your slow motion is only half as slow as 25fps. I would think it depends on what you want to achieve.
