PAL is chosen by a lot of film makers that shoot on video because the 25 FPS PAL system more closely resembles the 24 FPS film system. In order to benefit from PAL based media, you have to have an ALL PAL system though. Otherwise you're still watching it in NTSC. Once you convert to NTSC, you don't get it back. You can but PAL discs, and PAL players, but unless you're watching them on a PAL viewing system, it's still NTSC.

Watching a 24fps film converted to PAL and watched on PAL or converted back to NTSC is still a 4% speed-up. Annoying as heck, if you are listening to music dvds or songs that you've heard millions of times before.

Converting from film to NTSC is exact except you get something called a 3:2 pulldown, which increases "shakiness" during panning sequences.

PAL is not better than NTSC and NTSC is not better than PAL, they both have their deficiencies.

Also, I believe there are no progressive PAL players.

There is an unofficial PAL progressive scan format.
Apparently it was forgotten when NTSC progressive scan was specified.

The Pioneeer DVD747A can be modified to output a PAL progressive signal.
