PK on partitioned table

I have no experience with partitioning, but plan on gaining some ASAP. I want to partition a table into 52 pieces. This table will contain a rolling 52 week summary of data. Each week a new partition will get created & loaded. The oldest partition will get dropped.
This table will be range partitioned; 1 week per partition.
>From what I've read so far, LOCAL index should provide
better performance (as opposed to a GLOBAL index). Is this correct?
What is the "best" way to the PK index on this table? Can/should this index reside in a single tablespace? What are the trade-offs involved?

Thanks In Advance!
