When you make a WAV file, what you have is a CD-quality sound file, filled with whatever sounds you put into it. In this case, playing a WAV file created from a Finale file with GPO should sound exactly like playing the source Finale file itself (inside Finale, with GPO).
When you convert a WAV to an MP3, some of the sound quality is lost; this is how MP3s are able to be smaller than WAV files. The lower the bitrate you choose for your conversion, the smaller the file will be -- but the more quality is lost. You'll need to listen to the files yourself to determine what level of tradeoff is acceptable.
When you ask about 'GPO quality', are you literally asking about the sound quality? If so, then your answer is above. Or are you asking whether the file will still be based on GPO sounds or whether somehow the sounds themselves will be different? If so, then the answer is that the file will still be based on GPO sounds.
