If your beef is with proprietary formats, both wmas and mp3s are proprietary. You should use Ogg.
With Ogg, as with the others, you can specify different amounts of compression (small file size vs. better sound) to find your own personal preference.
Good luck!
Edit:
The other downside of wmas is that Windows Media Player sometimes automatically inserts some kind of timer into those files, making them unusable after a certain amount of time, or after a certain action. (For example, if you're paying for a service like Napster, you may be required to Sync your media player every month or the files will become unusable.)
You know, I was going to try to remain rational, but I'll come right out and say it: Both WMAs and MP3s are BAD. I don't like them. Use Oggs.
