This sox setting should be ok. 
For the loudness thing i wonder. If you don´t tell sox any different it
won´t change the loudness Replaygain calculates cause Replaygain only
uses audible audio bands for calculation.
Since some resampling settings create short peaks while resampling sox
can adjust the volume to prevent clipping then with using --norm
additionaly.
The resulting file will be some 0.1 of dB more silent.
I remember a Linn sample that was discussed on Hydrogenaudio. The 44.1
kHz version was 0.5dB more silent as the 96khz version. Nobody knows it
was done cause of giving a small advantage to the 96kHz version due to
some positive reaction for louder sounds or Linn simply adjusted the
level to prevent clipping.
Most likely the first one cause even many so called studio masters have
clipping samples.
