I'd stick with DVD. There's no guarantee that VCD and/or SVCD discs will play in all DVD players. Also, most NLE software is designed to author DVDs. The others, especially SVCD, are not featured that often.

It's dvd im backing the tapes to but, I can choose which resoulutions
to capture the footage in first

720*576
480*576
352*288

will 480*576 be ok or should I go for the full 720*576 ? 

Only you can decide where the cost/benefit ratio falls.

Not clear that writable optical discs will be a better
long-term storage than the original tapes themselves.
