The thing that sucks about Apple Lossless is that if you use that on your iPod you're going to kill your battery life. You may also find that long songs will cut out for a split second while the iPod refills it's buffer. Since the songs are 3 to 5x the size of an MP3 or AAC version, it will have to fill the buffer more often.

Lossless is great for your computer which has a big HD on it and a power supply, but I personally don't recommend it for an iPod.

I also encode everything as MP3. MP3 doesn't allow any kind of DRM, and is playable across every single player on the market. AAC is nice and all, but I prefer the flexibility that MP3's offer.
