I personally wouldn’t resize the footage from your Panasonic as you lose the ability to zoom in on it if you want to.
I deliver in SD (DVD) but do all my shooting & editing in HD as I love the ability to zoom and pan if I want to without losing quality.
Having said all that, if your 720×480 footage is DV-AVI from a miniDV camcorder, that’s the format I’d recommend.
