I always do profile conversions in 16bit. You can see the histograms jump more when you go to 8bit.
If you tell Photoshop to let the printer do the color management, the image data is reduced to 8bit on the way to the print driver *before* profile conversion, meaning more shifts will be apparent. When Photoshop is managing the process, it converts to 8bit as the final step before sending to the driver, which is in pass through mode.
