I don't know the names of t= he algorithms off the top of my head, but here's the order of scaling qualit= y:
 After Effects, regardless of hardware, is lowest
Premiere Pro without a CUDA-enabled video card (so running in software onl= y mode)
Premiere Pro with a suitable CUDA card, either directly su= pported or manually added to the PP list

So use Pre= miere Pro, but you'll get better quality (and more speed) by adding a new(is= h) video card.
