I picked the higher one correctly. Though, the difference is barely audible on my laptop (MacBook Pro aka worthless DAC, but quite ok Sennheiser microphones).
Personally I like lossless for practical reasons (e.g. conversions without quality loss).

That was the clincher for me. At first my music collection was a mish-mash of different bitrates. I converted the whole lot to the LAME V2 preset (~192kbps VBR) a la the mp3 scene standard, then no sooner had I done that than the standard changed to V0 (~245kbps).
Screw it, I figured. Storage is cheap. Might as well go lossless.
