Twixtor?
I hear great things about Twixtor in that it creates very smooth slow motion just as good as if you shot your footage at 59.94 and conformed it to 23.98. Is that true? I shot some of my footage at 59.94 but would like to conform the stuff I shot in 23.98. Not sold on Motion doing the trick. Any suggestions?

NEVER.
There is no software able to do what your camera does.Twixtor is probably the most customizable application for changing speed but but the results will depend very much of the movement of what is on the picture. It uses the same kind of technology then Motion or Compressor (Optic Flow) but you can key-frame manyl the parameters
Another limitation: In FC works ONLY in 8b.

What does this mean?Twixtor makes some impressive results from my experience, check out the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-ductU-iA8
But it makes up for that with render time. Although I do think it’s results are somewhat better than motions, but only just. Rafael is correct about NOTHING being able to do what a camera can do in this instance.

Is that 720p you shot?

That means that your 10b stuff will be crunched to just 8b on rendering.
In AE Twixtor works in 32b FP.[Thomas Morter-Laing] “But it makes up for that with render time. Although I do think it’s results are somewhat better than motions, but only just.”
There is somewhere here in the COW a video-tutorial on TWIXTOR.
The secret of a good software/slow-mo is on the shooting: Let things moving on the frame, but avoid the background moving. Avoid camera movements.
