The standard TV resolution until Hi Def arrived in 1998 was called NTSC, and had a resolution of 525 lines per inch. All the consumer grade cameras until 1998 were NTSC. VHS had been replaced by 8mm cameras by 1998, so all VHS tapes are 520 lines per inch.
Most 8mm cameras are 520 lines per inch as well, but most sold after Y2K were 720 lines per inch (TV's Hi Def), and some were 1080 lines per inch.
The size of TVs has changed a lot since the 80's. A VHS that looks good on a 12 inch screen looks pretty bad on a 70 inch screen because all the little imperfections get magnified (along with the good parts of the pictures!) The old NTSC standard just wasn't make for today's giant screens.
My advice is:

PREMIUM

For MiniDV, Premium is worth the money. Economy works, but if your camera was a ultra high definition device you will appreciate the difference.
For the rest, from a movie quality standpoint it's a toss up. Make you decision bases on the free stuff we've packed into the Premium grade
Look at my advice under Economy for tips about how to tell what resolution your tape might be.
Home Movies 45ยข / foot
There are 5 standard sizes of home movie film a 3 inch reel has 50 feet of film, 4 inches has 100 ft, 5 inches is 200 ft, 6 inches have 300 feet, and finally a 7 inch reel has 400 ft of film.
While there are two main film widths (8mm and 16 mm) and two general types of film (those with and without sound) none of these distinctions have an impact on the cost of digitizing home movies.
