Ideally you go to 120fps. Then the parts that were telecined (orig 24fps) would be 
AAAAABBBBBCCCCCDDDDDD.....

The parts that were shot in interlaced NTSC (60 fields/s) would be
AAaaBBbbCCccDDddEEee..

Any parts that were shot in progressive 30fps (unlikely but possible for FX shots) would be
AAAABBBBCCCCDDDDEEEE....

This is b/c 120 is the least common multiple of 24, 30 & 60. If you had PAL mixed in (25fps) you would need to use 300 fps. 

I use 60fps b/c my STB can't handle 120fps. The stuff that was originally film is now AABBBCCDDD... (2,3,2,3,..) I don't notice it, where I did notice the ABCDD (1,1,1,2,...) 

You will have to add the dejudder filter if you do this, b/c otherwise you will get AABBCCDDDD (2,2,2,4) which isn't any better.

On a side note, my new headache is some cartoon from the 90's that were drawn at 12 fps, doubled to 24 fps and then telecined. I am using -vf fieldmatch,decimate and getting ok results.
