AIFF or FLAC?

I have my music on a 2TB HD to play via MacBook pro to Hegel HD11 by USB with excellent results.
I have been reading today about the endless dilemma in audio formats era,
Wondering if you have experience with this two or you are using others with same quality and better reliability, for now iTunes works ok for me, but elyrics for ps audio dac that I also have sometimes turn a little difficult.
Any inputs highly appreciated,
Happy Sunday everyone.

I use a Mac and Apple Lossless because it integrates with Itunes.

Early on with Itunes I heard a difference between lossless and AIFF but on Audirvana I cant via casual listening. I suspect the reason is Audirvana decompresses into memory prior to playback so whatever was making AIFF sound better is a non issue.

Thanks
Bill
