It's important to consider the system as a whole. If the content being played is 44.1 (basically any music content distributed before 2010) and you are playing it through a 48k system, you're going to be paying for sample rate conversion somewhere, which will likely have audible artifacts (assuming a normal budget/consumer grade software or hardware). Until recently if you were designing for music playback, you would probably default to 44.1 to avoid an SR conversion, but for video content, default to 48k.
