I think you're confused. 14 bit is the output quantization space used by the A->D converter when transforming the image date from sensor capture to raw storage. The data is never represented in that form in any RGB component rendering. The minimum loss post-chroma interpolation and gamma correction is represented in an RGB-component file with 16-bits per component and ProPhoto RGB color space. So, if you want the minimum losses for panorama assembly, convert the data to TIFF 16bit, making your best adjustments to retain all the tonal gradations, then hand that off to the panorama stitching engine if it can accept that kind of data.
