I think the ideal solution is an anamorphic lens. You can easily stretch 2.0 material to 2.4 without making people look too wide. But without an anamorphic lens there is no downside to going 2.35/2.4 screen. You still get the largest 16:9 picture you can get for that room. If the room is much taller than wide then you could go with a bigger 16:9 screen. For most rooms, I don't see a disadvantage of doing 2.35 except that you have black bars on the side when watching 16:9 material.
for me i would go biggest 2.35 i can fit realistically and then tolerate whatever 16x9 size im left with
and if the black bars bother someone too much a simple black velver drape to mask it
