which would you choose

To answer the OP - I would chose 4K at 30fps.

Overall there is no 60 FPS movies to download. If you want the better picture quality regardless of screen, download movies in 2160p (4K).

Now when it comes to something like YouTube, yes the res options that have /60 next to them are 60 FPS but that's often because of how those were captured. If a YT video has options for 1080p/60 and 2160p without the 60 next to it, then that 2160p (4K) means it's 30 FPS. So is this regard while the 2160p option in a YT video is the better option for picture quality, you might get some unnatural motion blur or screen tearing if not using something like GSync. The 1080p/60 would most likely only be slightly less visual quality but what is gained with the /60 is overall smoothness and not having screen tearing.

Overall not all 4K videos will be the same in terms of "best" as some 4K movies I've seen were horribly compressed before-hand and thus can sometimes not be all that much better over the 1080p option for the same file, movie, streaming video link; etc.

If you are downloading them to keep on Local Drives then you want to just download both versions and then play them back via VLC Media Player and compare for yourself. As in the end, if that 4K movie was highly compressed and done so rather poorly, it might end up being not much better visual quality over the same movie at 1080p, but the 4K version would also end up taking up alot more disk space.

1080P 60 FPS because the quality is descent and smooth. Most of the time you can use an upscaler which makes it somewhere between 1080p and 4k native quality.

yes especially for streaming video, 1080p is fine, even if it's a 4K Display. You will use 1-2 GB per hour streaming 1080p/60 video compared to 5-8 GB per hour at 2160p

If I'm doing a one time download of a movie I really like, then I'll download it in 4K for best picture quality

Will smiths sniper film was 4k/60fps you can see the trailer on Youtube and it looks downright weird. It gives me an AI/interpolation feel.
