Please let me know.

Are you mastering, or is it going to a mastering house? If its going out, ask the mastering house what they prefer(when I send out for mastering, I bounce to 96K, even though my sessions are usually 48K). If you are "self-mastering(which I don't recommend) then I would bounce at the session sample rate and master in a new session. Why don't I recommend self-mastering? The 2 most important aspects of mastering are 1-a fresh set of ears(which the engineer can't have), and 2-superior monitoring(which none of us have if we didn't spend the price of a house on speakers, converters, room treatment, etc)
Why do I bounce to 96K? I want to give the ME a high-resolution product and many plugins work better at higher sample rates
Last 2 cents; if you are self-mastering, make the mix as perfect as you can without trying to master at the same time(just my preference, YMMV)
