Default Which wav type to use?

I'd ask the mastering house what they can deal with, before doing anything

doing more processing than usual, since they are trying to make a bunch of
discrete tracks from different people made at different places fit together
as a coherent whole.


That's the right answer but it's not clear just how "professional"
this project is, if one (maybe more) of the sources is from someone
who doesn't know about this. But when it comes to not knowing what
will happen to your file other than that it will eventually appear on
a CD, while it might not be optimum for being manipulated by a
competent mastering engineer, there's nothing safer than a 16-bit 44.1
kHz WAV file.
