I do exactly the same - Apple Lossless (ALAC) for the SB and 192 AAC for the iPod. I use a single instance of iTunes. Within iTunes the ALAC songs are checked and the AAC songs are not checked. I configure a smart playlist for syncing to the iPod that explicitly excludes songs with Kind containing Lossless. And 'Match only checked items' is NOT selected. I have the SlimServer iTunes configuration set to not include unchecked songs. So the check marks are effectively ignored by iTunes when syncing to the iPod. And they're used by SS to decide what to import. If you don't have an ALAC version of a song, then you can check the AAC copy and SS will pick it up.
