I assume that you export sound in order to import it somewhere else. This process has a lot of details and used to be done in the step called "mastering" in the old recording days. I'm no expert, but I could try to give you some pointers.
Your first choice is whether to compress or not. The best known example of compressed formats is probably MP3. I am not going to talk about this here.
So let us stay with uncompressed "wave" format. There are two choices you need to make here:
In video we use 48kHz as sample rate, on CD-s it is 44.1 kHz. Both work equally well as far as normal sound goes. Rarely anything different, and then the receiver of the files probably will tell you.
The effect of bit depth in digital sound only has to do with noise floor, or to be more exact the so called Signal-to-Noise-Ratio (short SNR). It bears to repeat this, it only effects the difference between the strongest signal or sound and the low level hiss. To make it very simple (the math is definitely above me) one bit gives you about 6dB of SNR. CD format has 16 bits, which would give about 96dB of SNR. It is extremely rare for normal people to actually need more for a finished "mastered" result. Basically no sound equipment can playback even close to that.
But we tend to use 24 bit for a bit of extra safety. I tend to record 24bit and aim for -12dB full scale as max and add a bit of gain before export. Works for me.
So from that point of view I would say that it is perfectly good to export 48kHz at 24bits as .wav file. No sound will be lost, no extra noise is added. And most if not all programs can import that format. But here comes the caveat: the format cannot give you anything above 0dB (simplified) in the sound wave. So if the sound ever goes outside of this it will distort. It is similar to if you record from a microphone and sets gain to high. One way to handle that is normalize the sound: just about every sound program has a normalize function. Set it to -1 dB or so in order to be a little on the safe side and export the result.
One alternative is to export as 32 bit float. The float format allows a signal a lot stronger than 0dB, several hundred dB-s. This means that on your export the sound will not be distorted. Not all programs can receive 32 bit float, so you need to check what the receiving end expects.
If you ask me the 64 bit float as export is simply stupid. More than half the file will contain no useful information at all.
There are however more to the art of "mastering". One part is to investigate closer what the receiving end does with the sound file. Often the receiving and applies various types of processing, and if you want your sound to be the best you might want to tailor the export to that. If you export to say Youtube, they will do something like normalizing. They will pull down all of the sound in the file to make the single max volume part below some value (my guess is -12dB). In order to make your listener happy this means that you should not export a sound file with large differences: a classical mistake is when the intro music is very strong followed by extremely weak spoken word. In some other media, say on radio, there is often a compressor applied to the sound. If you have worked with compressors you know that they can behave "strange" at times. One classical mistake is to have very low frequency sounds that triggers the compressor to turn down the volume. Before export I generally apply a low cut to remove anything below good signal, for spoken word often below around 100Hz or so.
