Use AE's DV Widescreen comp preset. The frame rate should be 23.976 fps. It should NOT be 23.98 -- that's just a cruel nickname for the actual frame rate, 23.976.

Depending on what you'll do with the file(s) rendered from AE, you should either render in the DV codec (lossy, but okay if left as is in AE)...
or the Animation codec set to best quality (lossless, but stands up to multiple FCP effects applied... and it WILL require rendering).

Get to know the Pixel Aspect Ratio Compensation toggle switch, located at the bottom of the comp window. Don't worry if text & such looks jagged: everything renders nice 'n smooth.

Oh... in FCP, you may have to check the footage's Anamorphic check box in the Browser to get it to look right.
