I have an HD24XR and am mixing through an analog console - with the L/R
mixing coming back in to two channels of the HD24XR. The two track mix will
then get's transferred to a computer for some final touch-up with Sound
Forge 8 & CD Architect. I need to wind up with a 44.1k mix of course.

My question is: Should I record/mix everything at 48k (or higher) and then
do a sample rate conversion at the end of the process with Sound Forge or
should I record/track everything at 44.1 from the start? (48K would make my
life a bit easier from a BRC point of view...)

If it weren't for the BRC, I'd say do the whole project at 44.1. But if you can
work a lot easier with the BRC at 48K (and I understand that that IS the case),
then that one sample rate conversion at the end of the process probably isn't
going to do much damage.

BTW, the HD24XR's clock is more accurate at 48K than it is at 44.1K, so that may
be a benefit as well. It's not a big issue, though.
