I wouldn't think it matters at all until you get to the output stage.
the PPI setting is only used IF interpreted by the software to be used
for output size. I use 300 most of the time because my lab doesn't
give a RIP what I use as their RIP takes care of everything for the
final output anyway. And for the stuff going to the stock library,
they want it 300. For on-screen display I convert the processed file
to 100.
When "rolling my own" prints, I have Canon printers which are native
at 300, so I scale and crop the image in software to the desired
output size.
Unless you are using the new-fangled scaling feature in ACR/Lightroom,
it doesn't matter what the PPI setting is as your image file still has
the same number of pixels.
But maybe I'm not understanding your workflow or software.
