First, thanks a lot for your work. I'm in the process of recovering "old" familly footage. I've tried many settings with Topaz and I couldn't avoid artifacts and artificial rendering while all I want it to properly deinterlace my footage and store it in a not-too-lossy and up-to-date file format, for backup and short-future editing. I went to read about QTGMC but I was undewhelmed by the Avisynth installation process. So thank you for Hybrid.
I'm more newbee than expert and there is obviously a lot to learn to understand the various options. I have mainly 2 kinds of footage :
In either case, I don't want to overcook rendering and I'd prefer to avoid post processing that doesn't take advantage of the deinterlacing process. Typically, if I understood well, I want BOB while QTGMC because it should be better than frame interpolation later (information drawn from odd-even and even-off frame pairs). If deinterlacing works better with a small amount of denoise, be it. But not too much, please.
With that in mind, what would be your recommended settings to achieve this kind of results ? And what output would be adequate if I want to spare a bit space so I'm opened to measurable lossy, but not at the expanse of an obvious loss of IQ ? I won't fine tune file by file and I'll rather conver overnight profided I have decent settings.

- Low quality PAL interlaced MPG2 recorded with an "HDD" camcorder 15 years ago, often quite soft
- Decent 1080i MP4 recorded with various cameras (probably 4:2:0)
