24 vs 16 bit recordings aren't going ot make any difference at all if the 16 bit recording was properly mastered. The only exceptions will be EXTREMELY dynamic recordings, that utilize more than the 90+db of headroom available in 16bit. 24bit makes a huge difference at record time, because you don't have to work as hard to maximize your levels. If that's then taken, have the loudest moment in the recording set at 0, and then take the top 16 bits, you really shouldn't ever run out of headroom. Except with things like canon shots, etc.
