HD quicktime ref compressed to SD for DVD – what field order?

I'm having some issues exporting a project and compressing to DVD, and it looks like it has something to do with field order.  I have a 1080i program, exported as a quicktime ref, then compressed to MPEG2 in Squeeze 7 for DVD.  From what I understand HD is upper field, SD is lower field. So should an HD show downconverted to SD stay upper field, or should Squeeze be set for lower field since it's now going to SD?  Or would it be simplest to set squeeze for progressive.  If that's the case, then what sort of deinterlacing option should I choose?  Thanks for any advice.
