If you are archiving try the Sheer codec. They have a demo on their site.

Playing out to HDCAM is good too.
The best way to work with HDV in Premiere is to immediately transcode to
Cineform's Codec. You can edit you your heart's content without putting
your footage through the HDV mincer. You can even export the final edit
to this codec for archiving.
I normally agree with most things Martin says but I have to disagree
with mastering to HDV. If cost is an issue then by all means go the HDV
route but if quality is the issue try one of my suggestions above.
Rendering back to HDV IMHO is not a good idea as there is an appreciable
quality drop.
