That's why most people I know generally overcrop to 704x480. 9 pixel bars of the 720 are technically junk anyway. I personally don't see a lot of reasons not to edit in 720/704x480, besides mixing sources with different aspect ratios (and even then, you can still leave one unresized). It's a heck of a lot better than the popular 848x480, which not only increases filesize for not added benefit, but increases decoding requirements too. Just downscale if you really need square pixels, otherwise keep the anamorphism.
