AIFF is an industry standard.
I would recommend XLD for ripping as it can use the AccurateRip database to ensure you have a good rip.

Is Itunes OK to rip CD's to AIFF?
I'm ripping a lot of of CD's and putting them on a network server so I can access them from any computer/stereo system in my house. Does any one know of any blinded listening studies where they compared Itunes-ripped wave files (AIFF) to AIFF ripped by another program? If no studies, is there any technical reason (and I'm no computer expert) that an Itunes ripped AIFF might be inferior to an AIFF file ripped by another program?
