16 bit should be fine, although I suspect that most recent cards would
perform better in 32 bit.
The one bit depth you should avoid is 8 bit as that has slowly begun to be
dropped by some cards/drivers.
The only reason to use 16 bit these days is if its a really old card, or if
you are limited by texture memory, as a 16 bit texture will take up half the
space of a 32bit one (unless sw3d uses on card compression which I don't
think it does)
