And to answer your question, LAME is generally considered the MP3 encoder of choice (even though some ABX tests on HydrogenAudio found that people found Helix the most transparent at 128kbps).

HydrogenAudio is probably the best place to discuss if x audio soft better than y audio soft, or if you don't understand why x ripper is better than y ripper.

With storage as cheap as it is now, I don't see why people mess with anything less than FLAC, unless they cannot afford more drives. At some point, I am of the opinion that many trading MP3s will regret not having the original lossless source material to re-transcode.
Storage allotments are only getting bigger, not smaller.
