Is there are reason you use WAV? FLAC has two very big advantages (non-quality, and non-sound related):
- Files are half the size. Twice as many files on one disk.
- FLAC can contain metadata, WAV can't. Useful for any music player

And every once in a while I run into an OGG fanatic.

The only reason to use Ogg (Vorbis) instead of MP3 is when you're an over the top open source fanatic who thinks all technology should be free for anyone, and absolutely want to avoid MP3 because some company (Fraunhofer) earns money because of patent licensing.
