gollark: If you can afford really high bitrates FLAC is better because it's lossless, and at low ones it's apparently beaten by other stuff.
gollark: Opus is very cool because it is open/not patented or whatever and the best available codec for everything except really high or really low bitrates.
gollark: MP3 is apparently "transparent", i.e. sounds the same as uncompressed audio, at 256kbps or so, Opus at lower ones.
gollark: Well, it depends on bitrate too.
