i guess i just don't see how it matters. 44.1 or 48. why is one a good idea or bad idea?
88.2 and 96 sound better to me. but i honestly just don't care. if you send me something to work on, it is what it is, and i'll do the best job i can either way.

If you send a 48k project to an ME they may likely need to SRC. This will affect the sound. If you work at 44.1, it will not require this.
If you work at 48, other people who inherit the project may not realize and it will be a problem. You cannot count on the intelligence of other people.
Working at 48 than 44.1 is not better in any case, it is just different, since it has just as much aliasing and phase shift, if you are even using gear that has enough problems for the difference to be audible. So making the decision to create potential issues downstream is not a good idea for what is in fact just changing the tone of the problem, not fixing it.
As for working at higher sample rates- yes, it will make it much easier to mix digital source material by pushing two of the prime issues of digital recording- phase shift and aliasing with brickwall filters- out of the audible band.
