Here's a comparison:

http://web.inter.nl.net/users/hvdh/lossless/lossless.htm

It's a bit complex, but:

- there isn't a huge difference in terms of compression between
lossless formats

- note not all the lossless formats on the graphs are supported by
SlimServer/Squeezebox.  SlimServer supports FLAC, Monkey's Audio, ALAC
and Shorten.

However only FLAC is supported natively.  The others are transcoded,
which means you won't be able to fast forward or rewind through them
and there may be some additional processor usage (probably not much). 
This may or may not be an issue for you.
