You meant 'if (u32 >= u16)' is not good ?
If so, I did some tests:

# x.c
int main()
{
unsigned int a = 1;
unsigned short b = 1;

if (a > b) <----
a++;
}

# y.c
int main()
{
unsigned int a = 1;
unsigned int b = 1;

if (a > b)  <----
a++;
}

# x.s
movl $1, -4(%rbp)
movw $1, -6(%rbp)
movzwl -6(%rbp), %eax
cmpl -4(%rbp), %eax

# y.s
movl $1, -4(%rbp)
movl $1, -8(%rbp)
movl -4(%rbp), %eax
cmpl -8(%rbp), %eax


So looks like x.c vs y.c is:
movzwl vs movl

does it matter?
