[sdiy] BLIT/BLEP virtual analogue synthesis

What sample bit depth are people using on their FPGA synth audio path?  
I've been going with 18 (the multiplier size) because I haven't been 
able to synthesize larger multipliers due to congestion.

Has anybody implemented a 32/16 divider like Antti mentions on a FPGA?
