Jerry:

Another space saver to consider is FLAC (a lossless audio compressor that 
can usually reduce files sizes by a factor of 2 or more).
It is an open standrard and there are free versions for most platforms.

By the way, I went through the process you're doing now (digitizing with 
different parameters and listening to the results) and learned a lot from 
the process as well as from looking at sonograms of the differently 
digitized files.

In the end I concluded, as everyone else has indicated, that 16/44.1 (or 
whatever your machine will do) is usually worth the extra disk space.

Cheers!
