Ogg is a great format if you can find a player that plays it. There's also .aac which sounds really good at lower bit rates than mp3s. My decision about what encoding format to use was made largely by my choice of using iTunes as my primary music player. So I don't use Ogg. I've got too much music to convert to any other format anyway.
That said, you'll definitely NOT want to encode at 64kbps because that's just too low to sound good. 320 is ridiculously high and likely any difference you here between that and 256 is a placebo because unless you've got really high end equipment, the circuitry will be affecting the sound and you won't be able to tell. For your pocketpc, you could probably get away with 128kbps mp3s. For general listening to music, I'd suggest 160kbps in .aac or 192 in mp3. HTH.
