[LAU] Dithering...should we dither about it?

I've been using triangle dithering when I export at 16-bit in Ardour. Not to start a religious war or anything, but I'd actually be interested in hearing opinions about why that or some other alternative might be better (shaped noise, etc.). How do you usually dither? Does it make a difference? -- + Brent A.
