Keep FLAC for archival purposes. That's what I do. I have well over 130GB of music encoded in Apple Lossless, and it's ideal if I want to transcode it into other formats or bitrates later on. Transcoding from lossy to anything is always a big no-no due to loss of sound quality.

And it also depends on your equipment. You shouldn't really notice a difference from say 128kbps than 256kbps if you have shitty $5 buds.

I have a Cowon S9 + UE triple.fi's (both of which are one of the highest ranking in their respective classes; DAP/universal IEMs), and I can't really notice a difference besides 320kbps and lossless. However, I just keep a lossless copy just incase because of the reasons mentioned above.
