I think high-bitrate MP3 is the way I will have to go. In my experience, AAC sounds better and compresses better than MP3 at a given bitrate. So I have a personal preference for AAC over MP3.
(Assuming you're happy with lossy...) As you climb the bitrate ladder, at some point either codec will get you to an acceptably good sounding encoding. And the resulting files will probably be with 10-15% size of one another. So, is it really material if AAC got there at a lower average rate?
Just for compatibility's sake, give MP3 a real shot. Head over to hydrogen audio and find the latest recommended encoder and settings. Play around with it and see what you think. You may be surprised.
