If your HDTV supports 1080p, it will show 720p without any problem. Many people don't notice much difference between 1080p and 720p. At least the difference between 480p and 720p is much bigger than between 720p and 1080p.

I will also be watching TV and movies on this set so I would like 1080p for that, but not if it will hurt my video gameplay or recording.

If you want to watch 1080p movies from xbox360 while connecting it using component video passthrough of HD PVR, you won't be able to do that.
If you want to watch 1080p videos from your blu-ray player, network media player,... connected over HDMI (or even component video), I don't see any problems.

Also, if 720p wouldn't look great on a 1080 native screen, would 1080i be any different?

720p and 1080i give comparable quality. I prefer to use 720p, because I don't like interlaced videos with fast actions. |
