Go with stills. Much easier and more flexible. Canon's 20D is the least expensive camera we could find with an intervelometer. They came out with a new model recently, so you may be able to a pretty good deal on a used one.

Most Canons, like the far cheaper S-line and even the IXUS (not recommended, it lacks manual exposure) can do time lapse when used from a laptop with Canon's free software "Remote Capture". You'll get longer durations and in many cases shorter intervals that way. We've been using a Canon S50 with very good results.
