I worked with hardware samplers, and 8bit samples are really rough, and don’t retain original quality… 12bit is almost acceptable, but 16bit is the “minimum” limit IMHO… VHS Hi-fi audio has a great quality, and used at the time as archival medium, because its quality was far greater than audio tapes.
Said that, if you have space, I agree that PCM is the way to go; alternative is to use a 384kbps AC3 stereo track - that is supposed to be transparent for everyone.
