Most people use After Effects to remove pulldown, and it usually works very well. Some people do the pulldown and preliminary grading in AE, then import it into PP for cutting, sort of the opposite of what you might find ideal in terms of workflow. Although technically Premiere Pro should remove the pulldown on the fly, if you compare individual frames with properly removed pulldown you will sometimes see strange artifacts and distortion. Whether this affects all cameras I can't say, but it is a problem with all my Canon and Panasonic cameras and camcorders (put not if you shoot real 24p, obviously).
So short answer, AE for pulldown, if using PP render out a few test frames to see if you are happy with the result.
I usually set AE to "guess" the pulldown.
