For the final product you won't need more than 44.1khz/16bit (standard CD resolution). Blind studies have already proven this a few times, higher definition audio is not detectable. Higher bitrate is useful for other music production reasons (studio and home multitracking), but not for casual playback.
That said, since you're doing some post processing having 24bit capture would be useful, then once it's finalized you could drop it to CD quality.
Your onboard audio might be your limitation. You'll need to go into control panel, and advanced sound properties, then recording to see if they allow you to capture at a higher bitrate with the mic/line-in.
