I'm thinking if you can ever get a re-read in EAC under wine, EAC can
detect when sectors don't match and you get the full benefits of the
program.  I would worry if you never get a re-read, then errors could
be passing through and EAC can't detect them and won't do anything
about them.

I seem to be the only one that appreciates EAC's best feature, logging.
What is critical to me is - was the rip good?  If not, which tracks had
errors?  Where were the errors in the track?  This allows me to closely
review these positions with headphones.  Sometimes a single error,
where EAC reports "suspicious position" at one place and nothing before
or after, is inaudible, but a string of adjacent suspicious positions
are usually audible.  Grip doesn't produce logs - the only indication
if it's having trouble is the length of time of the rip and a "happy
face" that indicates ripping status.  Once the rip is complete, the
happy face is gone...

That's why I like RubyRipper, it logs, including suspicious positions. 
Its error correction method isn't as good as EAC's though, and the
conclusions it comes to "Some track(s) needed correction, but could be
corrected within the maximum amount of trials" is totally false.  If
you see a series of suspicious permissions, there will be audible
defects just like in EAC.  They have NOT been "corrected" but at least
they've been logged.

Oh BTW RubyRipper does use cdparanoia, there was someone here who
asserted it didn't - which got me worried, but it's not true.  I've
never tried EAC under wine, don't even have wine installed - it seems
like a copout to me, but I may relent because there really is no
program quite like EAC in Linux.
