Encoder counts/revolution

This is probably a stupid question, but is there any reason to avoid
an encoder count that is not a nice neat base ten number? For
example, 2048 cpr vs 2000 cpr? With a 5 TPI ball screw and no
reduction, the 2000 cpr encoder would give 0.0001" per count vs
0.000098" per count for the 2048 cpr encoder. I don't think this
would really make a difference, but I would appreciate the opinion of
some of you experts.
