I voted for FLAC, since it's the only one I have used that I have liked. It's also the most common lossless format people are using, in my experience...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Another nice thing about FLAC is that you can put it in an OGG container.
Those are also reasons why I use it, that, plus it's open source IIRC...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Good luck getting many to make the move from FLAC to APE...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The only thing APE has going for it is slightly smaller file sizes. The thing is though, if you are going to go lossless anyway, you might as well use FLAC for it's better implementation and support. So you are using slightly more HDD space, the pros outweigh the cons...
