I'd be interested to see some real data on the compression rate issue.

Very much yes!  Go with flac, and you're guaranteed to still be able to
listen to your music in ten years time.  Go with wma, and who knows what
the situation will be next year.  If you go with flac and, five years
later find you made the wrong decision, just reencode your flac files
to the new super whizzy format that turned out to be better.  If you go
with wma and the same thing happens, you'd better just hope that you'll
be able to get your music out of wma format in five years time.  By
then, Microsoft may have completely stomped on any attempts at wma to
other format converters.
