In my world I save everything I do (voice) to MP3 256 and have done so for years for several radio and TV stations as the voiceover talent. wav and with all due respect to you Steve I strongly dissagree with Audition being capable of setting mp3 as a default save option would be extremely bad practice. I just stumbled across this thread since I too was having a problem with CS6 always defaulting to.

On the other hand, if you need the facilities of a programme like Audition, you should seriously re-think your policy of recording in MP3-even at high bit rates. If your editing needs are simple, you may wish to consider one of the domestic MP3 editors. MP3 is for distribution only and not suitable for any use I can think of during recording and mixing. I'd personally hate to use a DAW where I could accidentally have MP3 set as a default recording or Save format during the production process. If you can live with the conversion to wave and re-encoding, fine-but the compression artefacts concatenate each time you open and re-save your file. There ARE some basic MP3 editors out there, mainly aimed at the domestic market but they're pretty limited in the facilities they can offer-generally simple trimming and level adjustment.

This is why Audition-in common with most professional grade DAWs converts your samples to a form of wave file for editing then re-encodes it to MP3 when you save again.

Even worse, because of the way MP3 works (storage is in frames rather than individual samples) it's very difficult to do more than very basic editing a processing tasks. MP3-even at 320kbps-is a lossy compression format. May I respectfully suggest that, if you insist on "working" in MP3 you're likely using either the wrong format or the wrong software?
