If you have experience with BD and 60hz units, I'd appreciate the input. Thanks!

You will get some judder in fast panning shots, but overall the experience shouldn't be ruined if you go with a quality set.
Most plasma's only have a 60hz 3:2 pulldown and there are tons of happy plasma users. (some high end models provide a 48hz, 72hz or 96hz modes just for 24p movies, but can produce flicker).
Both of the TV's which I own are 60hz models and I haven't ever had a movie experience ruined because of some judder during a fast moving or panning shot. Ultimately, if you are really worried about judder, then I suggest you pick up a model that has a true 24p mode that will do an even pulldown (not all 120hz LCD/LED's will do an even pulldown properly). Good 120hz TV's will do a 5:5 (24x5), and give you much less judder than a 60hz set. 240hz TV's will do 10:10 (24x10).
