Which is the best lossless codec?

RJAmorim,
I think it would be a good idea to add version numbers. The things said about speed and options are tied to certain versions.
Example: wavpack was not so fast before the recent beta versions, some other codec might add hybrid/lossy from a future version on.
I understand that this would mean updating once in a while, but at least one could see from the version numbers when this would become necessary.
Another thing, I personally don't think not having hybrid/lossy capabilities is a negative point for a lossless codec. As these features are meant for lossy use. On the other hand it is a pro for the codecs that have it (see what I mean?)
