I recently went from ripping tracks at 128 to 192 and haven't looked back. I got a pair of Sennheiser HD 490 headphones when my old Aiwa ones died, and the differnce between them is astouding when I play something throught them at 128 vs. 192. The highs sometimes set eaten at 128, and cymbal crashes sometimes will get kinda slurred together.
In short, go for the highest bit rate that sounds good to you (that hopefully doesn't eat yer HD)
