I can hear a very minor difference, but shouldn't your reasoning
include your target audience?
That is, shouldn't you consider whether or not they are the sort of
people who would be able to tell the difference, and whether they
would care in the context of their reason for listening to the
recordings?
Personally I like 160 kbps for importing CDs for my MP3 use, and
consider it a good trade-off. I have no idea how that setting would
affect files from your sound card, compared to 128 and 192.

Of course, if I save the intermediate WAV file, I can generate MP3s of
any quality at a later date, but I was hoping to skip that step so that
I wouldn't have all those big WAV files littering my hard drive (which
has a mere 2GBs of free space left).
If it was me I'd litter a few CDs with the WAV files in case I needed
them at a later date, save the midi files to a data CD in case I
wanted to use them when synth technology had greatly improved, and
erase it all from my hard drive.
By the way: If audio quality is really important to the people who
will be listening to these files, why not just send them audio CDs
with WAVs/AIFFs on them?
