I would suggest to stick to x264 in your case. But why don't you just try and judge yourself?
As I said, start with the critical lossless capturing process with your setup. The subsequent encoding (apart from filtering) is almost peanuts IMHO.
If you have problems with the lossless capturing use your DVD recorder and set it for the best mpeg-2 quality (highest bitrate) and leave as is. Only if file size really matters reencode to AVC (x264).
