The principle I follow, right or wrong, is to stay with 16 bit, 44.1K sample rate in BIAB.

A DAW is able to import audio of differing bit or sample rates and convert everything to your preferred setting (mine is 24 bit, 44.1K). Then you do your mixing etc. and as the final step, convert to 44.1, 16 bit for distribution.
