I use a Panasonic 1980p, TBC, and Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle to capture lossless. DVD is not a good capture format for interlaced video no matter the bitrate (4:2:0).

This is what I would do. I would not want to trust the player or display to deinterlace well, though many do, and 1280x720p50 is a great final format for PAL.
