I think Sound Juicer struck a really nice balance on this:

CD Quality, Lossless (FLAC audio)
CD Quality, Lossy (Ogg Vorbis audio)
Voice (WAV audio)

The exact gstreamer pipelines for these are hidden away,
and we're just left with nice, descriptive labels as well
as the actual output format, for when you really need to
know.  I'd recommend following S-J's lead here.
