Both of them may be wrong :-)
I'm currently working with 3.6 Mbyte/Sec, 720 x 480, 30 fps
(actually, 60 fields) DV compressed QuickTime movies, with 44.1 or 48
KHz 16 bit stereo sound, and they work fine whether I set 30 fps
(which I need to for certain animations) or 1 fps.
What may matter more is what Director is doing during the times it
gets. If it's doing a lot, then lower frame rates may help, but if
it's not doing much then higher frame rates seem to be just fine.
What's interesting is how little it takes for Director to be
demanding. For example, changing the contents of a text member can
really cause the video to hitch. I would argue to keep the frame rate
high while you optimize what ever else is going on, and then lower
the frame rate if that helps the video a little more.
