Best Digital Audio Format

I'm trying to figure out which format (WMA, MP3, OGG, VQF) to use. Here is one website's conclusion.

Because of compatibility, popularity and the soft- and hardware-support, home-users should decide in favour of Microsoft’s product (WMA).
There are however only two bitrates one should choose in order to get the best sound-quality without any audible differences to the original files:

with classical music: 160 kbps
with rock/pop-music: 128 kbps
Everybody who still uses the long-proven MP3 should take the following bitrates to get the best sound-quality without any audible differences to the original files:

with classical music: 192 kbps
with rock/pop-music: 160 kbps

Anybody else care to offer an informed opinion on how to squeeze the most out of a 128MB CD card? Any suggestions on what Rippers & Encoders to use? Freeware would be preferred.
I currently have CDex v1.50 installed.

TIA
