I agree, a high quality WAVE is the best way to archive, and I like them to be straight transcriptions, and if a CD or release is made, the EQ and noise reduction is done at this stage. 48 or 96khz is good to save things with, in wave, for quality.

I used a 16GB USB-stick to store my data on and was able to put 24 hours of uncompressed music on it for only 20 euro. Fail safe, compact and not in the way on your hard drive. A perfect starting point for further editing and/or restoring.

Then you shouldn't record in MP3 format at all! because Apple uses its own improved M4A compression standard.
