Bitstreaming simple sends the audio to your receiver to decode. So if your receiver has HDMI and TrueHD & DTS-MASTER decoding, it will definitely be able to decode LPCM.

The PCM setting simply converts the audio track (TrueHD, DTS-MASTER) to LPCM and sends to the receiver as LPCM.

In either case it doesn't matter which setting you use, you will get lossless sound.
