I don't worry about it

If it's pop or rock, I'll generally get the lower sample rate unless I've heard that the recording is somehow special. For classical, I'll often get the higher sample rate, even though I can't hear much of a difference between 48/88.2/96. (I do hear a difference on most recordings between 44.1 and 48.) But it's all about the music, so 16/44.1 is fine if that's what is available. After all, I love the great music I have on some noisy early LPs, so why not 16/44.1?

In my system, I don't ever hear a difference between 16 and 24 bits on playback, so I don't worry about that. It makes a huge difference when editing in Pro Tools, but almost none on just playback. YMMV.
