Aiff or Flac

I did lots of reading last year before I ripped 200 cd's to an SSD drive. The consensus I found was AIFF files were preferable to FLAC. Flac being a compressed format.  I know I saw there is a non compressed flac too?

Reason I bring this up, is I'm reading here on some posts some folks ripping to FLAC as their preferred vehicle. I'll do more searches here in Audiogon. If anyone has opinions I'd be grateful.
