This is a recurrent debate. Here is my take on this:

In summary I shoot 14-bit "visually lossless" because it saves a little space and there is no actual loss of information. I switch to 12-bit if memory space is scarce: there is a little loss of information in the shadows but in practice of very little or no visual impact, and I'd rather get a few extra pictures.
