this is a question you have to answer for yourself, but to do that you need to understand the fundamental differences between aac and mp3. aac uses a better compression technique, which for you translates into smaller file sizes.... if you have a high capacity storage device (10Gb+), then this really doesn't mean much... apple claims that the audio resolution is higher than mp3, whatever that means. what dictates higher 'resolution' is bit depth and high sampling rates... but at any rate, unless you have super human ears, this might not matter to you either. i don't use itunes to rip my cd's, so i'm not sure, but i believe the aac format is also protected to restrict the transferring files from your ipod to another machine, and while there are 3rd party programs that let you do this, there's no need for this with mp3.
