I'd disagree in some respects :
If the session is at 16bits, (or even in some cases, 24bits) the mixer summing and effects still happen in a 32bit floating point / 48bit fixed / 64bit floating point world.
Why introduce truncation, or dither, and loose so much?
@ OP :
I'd ask the M.E. If they want 24bit fixed point, or 32bit floating point files.
But yeah, as for sample rate, just leave it at whatever the session was tracked / mixed at - leave any sample rate conversion to the M.E. (Not that it's in any way a lossy process, so long as you aren't reducing the sample rate below what it was originally recorded at).
But if you are self mastering, a red book CD has to be 16bit / 44.1kHz, so you'll need to dither, and SRC.
