I actually keep mine in Apple Lossless format, and get about 2:1 compression. I use a little thing called iTunesEncode, which calls iTunes from EAC to rip. I thought about FLAC, but I figured it was safer to use Apple Lossless in terms of Apple's dominance of the market.
The other nice thing about using FLAC/ALAC to keep your tunes is that both formats support tagging.
BTW, have y'all seen the new $2K slimdevice box? Looks sweet, although the price tag is ugly--word clock sync, AES/EBU digital outputs...
