This PDF compares the quality of various audio compression codecs run with various parameters. Overall, of all the audio encodings attempted which produced output at the same sample rate as the input, constant bitrate MP3's produced the highest quality files, exceeded only by variable bitrate MP3's at bitrates above 224kbps. In all cases AAC produced inferior quality results.

The Greatest advantage to the new Fraunhofer (Fhg) mp3 encoder (from all4mp3.com) is that it is about 5 times faster than the LAME encoder. The Fhg code has been optimized by Intel and AMD.
on my system (3.2 Ghz P4 Extreme) the new fhg encoder encodes at 79x, lAME encodes at 17x.
my benchmark file was a 27:39 wav file, Fhg encoded it in 21 seconds, LAME encoded it in 98 seconds.
