Sharing from my experience - I had gone for 16:9 screen and most of the movies Indian ones are 16:9 and with 120" screen and at 14 ft viewingdistance it is massive and immersive experience.
If your room is 24 ft then go for a bigger screen than 120".
Even if I project a 2.35:1 with the immersive experience with surround and night viewing - beleive me unless you are concentrating on the black bars - you are not going to really get distracted if your setup is good and the movie you are projecting is interesting.
Only time you start thinking of the light black/grey bands are if the movie is dialogue intensive and you are not interested in the dialogues or you are seeing some embarrasing / weeping scene which you want consiously to avoid and cannot fast forward it because your other audience or family is keenly observing.
