one caveat:

any processing via Audiosuite (constructive processing) will write a 
16bit file if the session is only 16bit.

therefore, for PT work --the viability of which i support as a 
platform-- if one is not bouncing, it is valid to import into 24 bit 
files so that audiosuite has a place to write it's work.  ...  and 
yes, processing 16bit data *does* yield 24 bits of usable data (not 
increased resolution, but high res of the process output)...
