Quick question about the whole Hz and flicker issue.

Assuming that no flicker is present or visible on either setting which one is better to use? Which one does panasonic want us to use?

For example when I get it, I'll use 48Hz and if theres flicker, I'll switch it to 60Hz. But if I cant see flicker at 48, then just leave it at 48 right?

And it seems as though the higher the Hz the better (V10 96 Hz, no flicker). So doesnt that mean 60 Hz would be the more desirable choice following that logic?

Which one is better to use is entirely your choice. If you notice the flicker of the 48Hz mode and it bothers you while the 60Hz does not, use 60Hz.

60Hz is more desirable in terms of refresh rate, but 48Hz is more desirable in terms of no 3:2 judder (96 eliminates 3:2 judder as well).

To be honest, 3:2 judder is one of the least noticeable aspects of watching TV and you've been seeing it for 10 years on DVD, so you should find that if the flicker of 48Hz mode is distracting that 60Hz will do just fine.
