WMA is not support in hardware so it must be transcoded to WAV at the
server.  FLAC is supportted in hardware.

Advantages of this is that you have lower server requirements, lower
bandwidth requirements, and you can FF/REW through songs with FLAC. 
You can not with any server decoded codecs such as WMA.

FLAC is open source
WMA is closed source

As for sound quality either will be the same that is the nature of
Lossless.

EAC is what you should use.  Not sure what you are referring to with
4bit stereo with EAC.  The bit rate and freq. is determined by the
source, not by the tool used to rip it.
