As others have said, there is no "magic" pattern that is going to be better. If you want to reduce the problem, you can do what the "pros" have been doing for years, which is to change the playback speed of the original, without altering the frame at all, and then do your pulldown on that. This has been suggested in many other similar threads in this forum, but I don't think it has been mentioned here (I may have missed it). What you do is use assumefps(24) to change the playback speed, and then apply a standard 3:2 pulldown what results from that. You then adjust the audio speed, without changing pitch. I do that in Vegas, but others may know of a way to do it in AVISynth. Yes, the result will play a little slower, but that "artifact" may be more agreeable to you than the judder you get from pulldown needed to go from 25p.
