It depends.  Anything lossless should be done in fixed-point for
obvious reasons.  If the codec is likely to be used on FPU-less
devices, a fixed-point implementation is probably also preferable.

We use floating-point mostly because it's easier to write, and because
it often is faster on modern CPUs, not because floating-point is
somehow inherently better.
