If you plan on working in HD you will need bigger hard drives. A minute of HD equals about 1 GB or space. Then the renders can be very large – about four times the size of a render done using SD footage.

You might want to ask this on a Premiere forum, but as far as I know right now, the P2 workflow is much easier in FCP than it is in Priemere. FCP can transfer the footage very quickly and Priemere doesn’t do it as quickly (it needs third party support).
As this is a FCP/Mac forum most people will tell you to go all mac all the time.
I have recently acquired an HVX200 and am extremely happy with the FCP workflow. Also, the latest version of FCP (5.1) has even more support for all of the different formats of P2 (including pulldown removal upon ingest).
It also boils down to how comfortable you are with troubleshooting a system, be it on a mac or PC. Although everything is new, it doesn’t necessarily mean there won’t be ‘problems’. Do you have more experience on a pc or mac?
What are you going to use for an HD monitor?

No need for a 4:4:4 card with DVCPro HD material. It’s a firewire transfer.
No clue on the Premiere side. On the Mac side, a G5 with a FW 800 Drive is all you need to start editing DVCPro HD. A FibreChannel array is better for additional speed, an AJA Kona series gives you more HD output options.

Man, I remember when “Control M” was added to CMX editors. Now, an automatic matchcut back to your source…that was awesome. And time code editing? WOW!
