I found that the dbpoweramp works really well for ripping directly from a cd to .ogg files. I think you have to dl the extra .ogg codec to make sure it can rip to ogg though.

I think the main benifit of ogg over MP3 is that you can run an ogg file at a lower bit rate and get a higher quality. I ripp directly from CD and I use 64kb bit rate for my ogg files. That makes an entire CD about 16 MB usually. The sound quality in turn is as good as an MP3 at 128 kb bit rate.

I think that is the real advantage of ogg over MP3. When I rip from CD to MP3 using 64kb bitrate the sound quality is noticably worse. With ogg I don't notice that difference.
