First, do a blind "taste test" of your material
at 96k, then 44.1.  If you can pick the 96k file every
time without knowing before hand which it is, then
you should record everything at 96k.  CD's are 44.1, yes,
but your music will live longer than CD's.  If you
can't pick the 96k file, then record at 44.1 for efficiency,
and to save space.
