I used to do 96khz but now just do 44khz because I can get so much more out of my CPU doing 44khz. You really need a powerful rig to work comfortably at those higher levels. Does it matter? To some, yes. On the extreme end of things, you have Deadmau5 who writes at 192khz 32bit. Now imagine the machine you'd need to write comfortably at that level. On the flip side, if I had a powerful enough computer to write tracks at 96khz comfortably, then I probably would because at that point, it's not going to hurt anything.
u wont be able to tell much of a difference on monitors, but on a nice soundsystem i think there is a noticeable difference. most laypeople wont know what to hear for and some people just dont have ears that can pick up the differences, but there is one.
my advice is when producing to stick to the highest your computer can handle, but on a mixdown and recording audio try to go higher.
you can always downlsample later, but you cant go up

I have a grossly underpowered 8yo pentium 4. Going greater than 44.1 on this thing would probably turn it into a smouldering, bubbling mess on the floor.

44.1 but I do notice sometimes when I rip a track, that anything that is borderline background sounds, don't come through as prominent as I like it. In that case, I rerip with the volume turned up. I tried to create an entire track at 96khz and on a 4gig RAM and 2.7 ghz cpu almost always ran out of processing power. Plus I figured I barely noticed a difference.

shame on me, I'm still at 16/44.1 after all those years, except when working for video which requires 48.

I just couldn't be bothered. Why do this when the only real result I'll get out of it is that CPU limitations will be a problem again? It works fine the way it is and I'm happy with the way my music sounds, these details are hardly relevant for me.
If less is more think about how much more more would be.
