DTS-HD to DTS Core Extraction

I was looking around the forum for a way to extract DTS from DTS-HD and I discovered this can be done with tsMuxeR using the Downconvert option. Another method involves demuxing the full DTS-HD track and using eac3to -core to extract the DTS track. Both methods produce a file of identical size, except eac3to patches the file to 24 bits whereas tsMuxeR creates a 16 bit file.

I found this post which gives an explanation for this behaviour but I don't fully understand it and I am still left unsure about which method is best to use?

Is it better for the file to be patched to 24 bits or is the resultant 16 bit file created by tsMuxeR's downconversion okay?
