MacBook Pro. No question. The most horsepower, plus the capability to put 8 GB's of RAM (vs the MacBook's 4) and if you are outputting to a plasma TV, you'll probably want greater video than 1280 x 800. The MacBook Pro can rez up to 1920 x 1200. I run a 17" MacBook Pro, and when I output to my 46" Samsung, man, it's nothing short of glorious!
The heads-up part is that Apple dropped FireWire 400 in favor of FireWire 800, so it's more than likely you'll need an adapter for your interface. (assuming you go with FireWire)
My interface is a Saffire Pro 24, FireWire based. (just throwing more choices your way!
)
