Main advantage is in upsampling - this helps improve filtering and can reduce jitter if done well.

All redbook CDs are 16 bit. Sony-Philips never created any other definition. Even HDCD is recorded in 16 bit format where bit 16 (least significant) switches dynamic range of music encoded in 15 remaining bits.
