Default Samsung BD-P2500 Bitstream re-encode or audiophile?

I have this player and have a question of the anyone here that may be familiar with the player. If not, then here's what the manual says:

Bitstream

(Re-encode)
Decodes Primary, Secondary
and Effect audio streams
together into PCM audio, then
re-encodes the PCM audio into
DTS bitstream.
You can enjoy Primary,
Secondary and Effect audio
together.


Audio quality may be lower than
PCM or Bitstream (Audiophile)
setups.

Recommended choice if you
don’t have an HDMI supported
receiver, but have a receiver with
an Optical input that can decode
DTS.

Bitstream

(Audiophile)

Outputs only the Primary audio
soundtrack (main soundtrack
of the movie) so that your
receiver can decode the audio
bitstream.


You can enjoy DTS-HD Master
Audio sound if you have HDMI
1.3 receiver which has DTSHD
Master Audio decoding
capability.
You will not hear Secondary and
Effect audio.

Recommended choice if you
have an HDMI 1.3 receiver
which has DTS-HD Master Audio
decoding capability

I guess what I am thinking is that the only time that I want to use "re-encode" is when I want to listen to a simultaneous commentary track? Otherwise use "audiophile"
