Mini DV transfers to DVDR:..what speed to preserve quality?

Don't know if there's a forum to handle this, but here goes...I'd really appreciate any help

I just bought a MAC G5 that I'll initially be using to convert all my VHS, HI8, and MiniDV tapes to DVDR. I'm starting off with MiniDVs and I'm wondering what speed I should be recording to to prevent any loss in quality. I used the SP mode on the camera (Sony DVR-9...1999-vintage), should I then also use SP mode on the DVDR, or play it safe and stick to the ultra high quality mode? Having the 2-hr capacity SP mode would offer would be nice, but preserving the quality of the taped recordings is most important.

BTW, I'm using the imovieHD, iDVD software
