You can do just fine at 24/44 for most projects. As long as you stay at that resolution for DSP, EQ, editing, etc. until the final CD, things should be OK for you.
Mix to 24/44 as well, keeping your final mix at that resolution. Save that separately; you may want it for something else someday, or you may need to do an edit on the stereo version of your work. It's always good to have it at this stage, regardless.
When it's time to burn a CD, you'll of course have to reduce the bit depth from 24 to 16. You may be able to do this on the fly (Depending on your processing power and software), or you may have to do another bounce. Use the best dithering algorithm you can find, regardless. (My preference is POwr-3, but there are lots of others.)

There is nothing wrong with 24/44.1 unless you can hear a significant difference between 88.2 and 44.1. 44.1 also puts less pressure on your CPU and takes up less HD space.
