More than 8 bits isn't really of consequence if you never expect to do any post capture manipulation before printing, you are basically trusting the cameras internal processing to get it good enough. But if you intend to do any image processing working a 16 bit image even with the most basic processing tools will provide a superior final 8 bit file for print.
