Wiring in unfinished basement shop

I'm with Rob. My panels connect straight across via the bottom punch-outs.

Ok, so I'm planning on running PVC conduit down the walls to the boxes, but I'm thinking of running NM through the ceiling joists over to where the conduit will run down the wall. Do I need to have a box at the top end of the conduit and switch from NM to THHN to run down the conduit? Can I just run the NM into the conduit and down to the box at the bottom?
