IMHO, as humble as I can be, shoot 25P and render in 25P. DO NOT use interlaced. For video blogging and using your normal lighting (50Hz) do not use 24P or you will have flickering.
Isn't the industry film standard 1080p/24fps? Theres really no need for interlaced because you're not filming fast movment much. Even for fast movment I'd still stick to progressive because only CRTs do it properly.

My camera is PAL and not capable of 24P. 25P only, which is actually "FP25" saved as 50i.

See, that's the stupid thing. You are supposed to use interlaced for "fast motion", but the results are terrible. The 50i straight out of my camera is horrible on anything that moves. And this is a latest generation top of the line Canon HF G10.
I have not been able to find anyone who can give me an answer on this on various forums.

On my Nikon D3100 theres an option to select the filter to 50Hz or 60Hz. In video mode (1080p/24) theres no flicker at all sitting directly under fluorescent lighting.
I don't understand why cameras are sold in PAL and NTSC version with 24p/25p and 50i/60i modes. Why can't this all just be in software?
Dave.
My old Sanyo Xacti had a flicker filter, and I think you could select 50/60
But the new Canon doesn't have any filter option.
I wonder if that means it would flicker if I shot footage in the US under 60Hz lights?

Shooting and processing all in the same format is the way to go, 25p in this case. At the moment, more is pointless, because youtube only encodes their video up to 30fps. They will reduce the frame rate, probably by decimation (dropping every nth frame), of anything uploaded with a higher frame rate. However, I guarantee Google keeps all the originals, so if they allow higher frame rates later, videos uploaded as 50/60fps may be re-encoded by them.
The reason interlaced looks horrible is that your computer doesn't know how to display it properly. If you hooked your camera up to a TV or played the video using VLC Media Player with deinterlacing enabled,it would look much better. There's no easy to use solution for deinterlacing during encoding, when I was using an interlaced NTSC camera, I used Avisynth with the TomsMoComp deinterlacing plugin, encoding with VirtualDub. This was a whole extra step after editing, and was a big pain.
I would have suggested a camera such as a Panasonic TM700 (which I have), which is one of the very few that shoots 1080p60.

And so the most wise act, would be to send a email at the technical support of Youtube.
And find out what works for them best.
So what's the advantage of 50i? And why does every man and his dog seems to say it's better to use 50i for fast action stuff?
Erm! this may seem like a silly question but why not just turn off the 1080 HD mode in youtube? Job done.
The human eye can detect up to 18FPS as far I know , the 25 offers an maximum smoothness to the ones who can feel the difference, not every one does.

50i is actually quite efficient in transporting fluid motion: It keeps the non-moving background at full 1080 resolution and encodes the fast-moving subject at half the resolution (540 lines). Since the human eye can't resolve motion and resolution at the same time, interlacing leans to our visual perception system.
1080p60/50 doubles the video rate though doesn't it? So I probably wouldn't use 1080p50 even if I had it.
