I think that the appeal of the 32.768khz oscillator is that the DS32khz TCXO from Maxim uses this frequency. The jury is out on if even a well calibrated crystal will be more accurate than the coming line frequency changes (we'll see how bad they are... )

Digikey sells a 3.93216 MHz crystal; that divides into 60 Hz 2^16 times, which is easy to do if the microcontroller has a 16-bit timer. Or even with a plain logic chip or two.
