in theory the higher the hz the better.
The importance of "120" is that this frequency is divisible by 24 (the frames per second you'll find in most Blu-Ray-encoded discs).
72Hz is also a common frequency (generally used by plasma TVs), as they do not suffer from refresh issues, and wouldn't need the higher frequency to compensate for it.
The higher frequency purportedly reduces motion blur/refresh on LCDs, but it's not a cure-all. Motion blur is still very evident in high contrast images.
Also, most "120 Hz" TVs don't actually use that frequency for the 24p correction, but for motion blur correction only. I'm sure there's a website out there that lists the specific capabilities of your TV sets (such as the contrast ratio, which is most certainly not 25,000:1).
