Which format would be best?
Anything that the new NSSound code supports. Since they only need to be a couple of seconds long, we can probably distribute them as uncompressed sounds, I'd suggest 16-bit either mono or stereo depending on the sound (the 'whooosh' sound Apple provides makes good use of stereo, flying from one side to the other, but others are essentially mono).
Apple provides theirs as 16-bit Integer (Big Endian - even on x86, marginally interestingly), Stereo, 44.100 kHz .aiff files. The total file size for all of the sounds is under 1MB. Someone shipping a handheld platform where space was at a very tight premium could encode them as something like vorbis if the sound input bundle supported this format to save some space.

I've been able to find some high quality sounds on www.freesound.org earlier, and I'm sure there are other similar collections to forage. If we want to be more ambitious, I know a couple of sound designers I could ask for help, and maybe others do to?
There are lots of good sources of public domain or permissively- licensed sounds, but finding 14 that match the names is time consuming. If you know a sound designer who'd be interested in providing them then that would be really great.
