The purpose of FLAC is to give you CD-quality files that take up less space than standard lossless formats. You can rip to FLAC whether the Clip Zip's options are the same as those of the Fuze or not.

I believe it depends on which device you're using with Rockbox. I assumed that ALAC would be playable as well, but I haven't had any consistent luck using Rockbox 3.1.3 (the latest version for the Clip Zip) even though the manual lists that format ("Apple Lossless .m4a, .mp4"). The files usually skip or don't play at all, and I've been able to test them with other devices (one of the many advantages of a removable mSD).
FLAC files seem much more reliable so far.
