I've gotten to the point where I don't look at the AR of a movie before I fire it up, or drop it in, I don't start it and check if it's a little too tall, or a little too short, if it's 2.35:1, or 2.37:1, or 2.40:1, or if it's offset a little high or low. I just pop it in, or fire it up and if it's "scope", I hit the "2.35:1" AR button on my remote and it adjust the AR mode and I sit back and enjoy.
Now if I had the robust scaler, and the movie database (ala Kaleidescape), and the automation to tie it all together, I'd definitely go for a 2.40:1 screen (if not wider like Vern, but that requires a different/special lens) and have the automation set up to horizontally shrink each AR just enough so the height is always just right.
