Should I put the HD or SD on iPad for viewing?

If going away I want to put some of my iTunes movies I've bought on an iPad Air 2 for viewing only on the iPad screen, not to output to a TV. I always buy the HD version for using at home on Apple TV, but I think you can transfer the SD version to the iPad if you want.

So, not sure if this is a daft question tbh!, should I transfer the HD or SD on to the iPad for viewing, massive space savings, but happy to go HD if that shows better on the iPad.

thanks

iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iOS 10.3.2

No idea, how do I get both version on to test? surely I'd imagine HD is better on everyone's eyes, thats why I asked.

Actually now it says in iTunes Store there is a facility for 720P, maybe this is a happy medium for watching on iPad Air 2? How do I go about getting the 720P version on my iPad, as what I normally do is just download direct from my iPad, which version will this load though?

Or do I have to do it over USB via iTunes on my iMac? i.e. first download to iMac, then sync across USB to iPad. Seems a long and complicated way?
