30fps timeline or 60fps timeline for slowmotion

Question

if I want to slow 60fps footage down 50% but also keep some 60fps footage at 100% speed which timeline framerate is best, as I’ll be exporting at the timeline’s framerate.

I say keep the timeline at 60 fps.

If you place 60 fps fluid motion footage on a 30 fps timeline Premiere Pro will throw away 50% of your frames and the 60 fps video at 100% speed will look choppy and stuttery. Slowing down 60 fps footage to 50% will look great if you use Optical Flow as Paul suggests in his post.
