Sqeezebox 3, Apple Lossless or FLAC?


I have just ordered a Squeezebox 3 and wanted some advise how best to set it up. I am proposing to use iTunes on an iMac laptop and a Wi-Fi connection. What is the best way, in your opinion, to rip CD files, Apple Lossless or FLAC? What is, in your opinion, the best way to connect it to my processor (Krell HTS 7.1), RCA or digital? Any other advise you can offer on the set-up would be much appreciated.

Do you have a iMac or Laptop?

Digital for sure on the cables based on other audiophiles systems I auditioned.

FLAC for better storage management of files.

Think about using LaCie 500 GB or 1TB Networked Access Drive to free space on iMac for applications.

Leaning toward the Transporter but still have a couple of more things to research.
