IME ripping is reliable. I use cdparanoia on Linux, this is the engine for a lot of modern rippers on many OSs. I get bit-identical rips on my different machines (setting the drive offset correctly) and this is confirmed with a checksum on the files. This happens every time I try it. One is a CD-RW drive and one is a DVD-ROM drive, both quite cheap.
These days CD ripping is very reliable (with unscratched CDs) and it's the error correcting software and firmware that makes it so. This is one link in the audio chain I rest easy about.
