Cinema tools workflow directions.. Need Help please...

I'm cuting a short that was shoot in 35mm, Dailes are transfer to Beta SP at 29,97, and also have the flex files. So:
I import the flex files to Final Cut and Cinema Toos, and have a batch list. The questions is.. Which frame rate is use to digitize the tapes? Do I need to use 29.97 and then reverse telecine ? or Digitize stright to 23.98. I'm consufe about it.. But for sure I need to deliver a cut list for the negative.
Many thanks

The cut frame (for negative cutting) will be correct for 23.98 or 24. The advantage of 24 is if you sync sound in Final Cut, you can bring sound it at it's captured rate.
If you edit at 23.98, you retain the slow down imposed in film to video transfer (telecine) and thus need to slow down your sound by the same amount (1/10th of 1 percent, or .1%) to sync.
Where there can be some adjustment of cut frames for negative cutting is if you edit at 29.97. This is because the cut frame could potentially contain information from 2 different film source frames.
