I have tried quite a few but prefer iTunes on a Mac, to my surprise given what is written on the 'net!
I rip to ALAC with the "use error correction..." option chosen in the import settings.
I find the most tedious bit is correcting or modifying the tags downloaded from the internet which are rarely complete and rarely produce easily found logically located albums in a big collection.
Usually fine for pop music but fairly useless for classical.
Most of the rips I have I did between 2001 and 2007 before iTunes got inconvenient to use.
I have JRiver which has a nice interface, and DBPoweramp, which does (astonishingly slow) accurate rips on a PC but I prefer not having my PC connected to the internet, so I don't use either any more.
