WMA lossless locks you to the Windows platform - this may or may not be
a problem for you.

WMA lossless is proprietary software.

FLAC is decoded in the SB3, not on the server, so you will get a
benefit in less network traffic.

FLAC is supported on a wide range of environments (Windows, Linux,
MacOS).

There was a discussion whether WMA lossless is really lossless. I don't
remember what the result of that discussion was, but it should be simple
to test. I did this with FLAC; I converted a wav file to flac and then
back to wav. The end result was identical to the original wav file.
