I have been trying to figure out the best way to downconvert HD footage shot with the PMW-EX1 to SD. I've found a lot of confusing and conflicting information, and I'm wondering if there is an ideal way to do this using Final Cut Pro.
I know this is a relatively vague question, so I can answer any specifics you need to help answer.
Do you do it before editing? After editing? Is there something to do while importing? Etc.?

Sorry for the delay Tony. Lets say DVD for now, but for editing purposes as well. Is it possible to convert prior to editing, or is it better to wait until afterwards?

Definitely wait until afterwords. That way you have an HD master of your program for future use. For downconversion to SD for burning an SD DVD using either iDVD or DVD Studio Pro, check out this link:
