If you want better than 16-bits and 1KHz then you also are going to need a
very good quality analog signal conditioning and instrumentation amplifier.

I've never heard of anybody getting 16-bit resolution from a load cell or strain gauge. There are full-bridge strain gauges with additional adjustments to balance the common mode noise down to the minimum, but still, 16 bits is one part in 65,536, which is really tough for any analog electronics. Most people say that anything better than 1 part in 10,000 is getting extreme. Anyway, strain gauges produce very small signals, so a really good amplifier that cancels out all noises is critical. Ambient RF that gets rectified in the amplifier inputs will likely be the greatest problem.
