What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.
French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.
“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.

If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:
“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.
“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.
Why would a person always be so tired?
“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.
