    I am shooting a show for google TV on a Sony NX5U and editing in FCP. I want to know what the best shooting format would be. And what I mean by best is easiest to deal with it. Thanks

    When you say Google TV, I assume one of the device’s streaming channels? The network/station/recipient of the footage should provide you with a spec sheet for the delivered format. Shoot in that resolution/framerate if you know this will be your only outlet or shoot something at a higher resolution/framerate if you know it will convert easily for this job’s deliverable but it still gives you a better master file for other uses.
