Okay real talk though my guess is "have a 24hr orbit but also transit the planet" but no I don't know what mission would want that

Yeah, anything in the realm of wanting that would go sun-synchronous (e.g. weather satellites)

That would be the saner option, yes Now that I work at a satellite company I've learned to stop assuming sanity as a default, though
