It's a controversial issue, so be prepared to encounter many different
opinions.

96 should be just as good. It is not likely that the situation is going
to change in the near future.
You need extremely high-quality (and extremely expensive) components in
your audio chain to exploit the difference between 192 and 96. You also
need very good mixing and mastering skills in order to stay at the top
of the quality ladder.

I would be much more worried about the bit depth - use 24bit instead of
16 whenever possible throughout the processing chain.
