Default Question about colour depth for scanner

Another newbie question.

My slide scanner (PF3650Pro3) can scan at 8 or 16 bit colour depth.
However, if I manipulate an image scanned at 16 bit depth, on saving it is
changed to 8 bit by the software. I have tried Photoshop element,
Paintshop Pro & Gimp - all change the colour depth to 8 bit. Is there any
benefit of scanning at 16 bit colour depth as almost all scanned images
need some sort of manipulation. Scanning at 16 bit takes significantly
longer than at 8 bit.
