Hi,

The term you're looking for is "sample rate".

In most practical situations, there's not much benefit recording at 96kHz.

I'm confident you won't hear any difference between 44.1 and 48.  If the
material is destined for CD, I'd simply record at 44.1, in order to avoid
the need for sample rate conversion.
