Not only will slimserver be OK with flac it is in fact optimised for
it, with built-in decoding right in the box (SB3 or Transporter).  This
gives you several benefits - lower file storage footprint at your
server, smaller file size for transmission (i.e. less bandwidth
demands), and as mentioned by haunyack, the ability to add tags which
are absolutely vital to organising your music.

You do not need to use a two step process with EAC and then foobar. 
EAC can be set up to encode directly to flac after it completes the
rip.  There are detailed instructions on setting this up in the wiki,
such as here http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?EACBeginners
