Currently using crystal. Will almost certainly go to resonator at best. Will examine possibility of RC once all other considerations are obvious - these often pop up unextepctedly during development despite best efforts to "design" from scratch. With sigma-delta the short term clock stability (over one conversion cycle of around 10 milliscecond) is all that matters.
