Would an all-perfect run be more entertaining? Or should I just do an any%?

I think, the route planning would be a lot harder for an any-% run
There are some videos from Stefan Mahrla here. Check out the "Sky Diving - Fast Landing" video for an example of how corners can be cut quite drastically--and it's probably possible to open your chute even later!
This game would be good for a TAS because you can eliminate having to slowly align things such as the cannon and just go to the perfect coordinates instantly, making the challenges go by in a very short time.
Another thing you should look at is ROM size. The larger the ROM the more likely it is to desync. I assume that this is because desyncs are caused by savestates not recording the last few frames when it is made. If the ROM is larger then one could argue that the savestate has more data to save and hence there is more chance of final frames being lost. Working on my experience: the SM64 ROM is only ~5Mb (very stable), Majora's Mask ~30Mb (very unstable). This idea has been reasonably consistent across all ROMs I've researched.
Haven't fully watched it, but maybe Glide64 will be the better video plugin... I noticed major environment texture problems with Rice, while it had no shadow or major lag problems, Glide64 may be better, because there were very obvious see through problems- see through hills and some platforms you have to land on- unless it's a part of the game (which can only help you, but make it look weird to audiences.) also, D-Pad... I'm positive for the actual run that you will get far more precision with the analog stick and the TAS input plugin.
Also, a user named Bukki? Do I have an evil twin on the forums?
There is a good trick in this game to get the gyrocopter to rediculous speeds, hit the ground at a slight angle, but bounce off to get going over 100km/h faster than otherwise possible. I used this a lot, but it was hard to controll.
