Older versions of Photoshop were not so hot but the last version, CS6, does a really good job in my experience. I don't know if the major improvement occurred in 5.5 or 6 with regard to stitching. PTGui is of course going to be great.
Shooting raw, you definitely want to make sure all images are the same with regard to exposure, WB and any other tweaks. The distortion issue is something you should test. Do one pano with individual images corrected first and one without, then compare. If you have a lot of overlap, as you should, the software may take care of it and, more importantly, you may end up with slightly sharper images (distortion correction will soften/ reduce resolution where more correction is required, such as at the borders and corners). Hopefully, those are areas that will not be used due to overlap. This is one reason why it's actually preferable to use a lens that has very little distortion to begin with (and the RX1 has quite a bit by design).
