PCM vs. bitstream with PS3

I finally got my system completed. I'm using a Marantz SR5004 avr connections are HDMI from PS3 and HDMI from avr to TV. Which audio setting is best to use on the PS3, PCM or bitstream? I tried bitstream and it wouldn't play the rear two speakers, basically I was only getting 5.1. After I switched to PCM, I now get 7.1, at least the display on my avr is showing that sound is going to all 8 speakers. I don't understand the kHz settings on PCM. The PS3 settings menu wants me to choose which one to use, I selected the highest kHz choice, but I hate just guessing stuff. Any help understanding which setting to use and why would be greatly appreciated. This is my first HT system, and I just want to make sure I'm getting the most out of my system.

You will choose the following Dolby 5.1,DTS, and for PCM add 5.1 at 96kHz and 7.1 at 96kHz
