Hi,
if possible use manual focus and manual white balance (as the projector's flicker might irritate the auto-focus and auto-white-balance).
When the films have been shot at 24fps, I would suggest using 24p for the video as well. But beware: Many video-cameras claim to shoot at 24fps, but in fact shoot at 23.976fps or are shooting at an NTSC-frame-rate using a 3:2-pulldown to simulate 24fps. The 23.976fps shouldn't be a problem as you do have a variable speed projector. However the 3:2-pulldown might cause strange results.
When the films have been shot at 16 or 18fps, I would suggest setting the projector to 15fps (or 14.985fps) and shooting at 30p (which is in fact most likely 29.97p). (Most video-editing-software allow to adjust the speed later on if the transfer looks to slow.)
Depending on the video-camera, projector, ... you might get better results projecting onto a white or light-grey sheet of paper than using one of the transfer-boxes.
When your projector has got more than one lamp-setting, you might also want to try them all. E.g. my Bauer T610 and TR300 both have two settings: "Maximum" and "Energy saving". When using my cheap "Medion"-camcorder, I get better results at "Maximum" (better = less visible flicker). But when using my iPhone, I get better results at "Energy saving" (better = less visible hotspots and images that don't look over-exposed).
Good luck,
Jörg
