flac does and cannot and will not handle with 32-bit float WAV files, which is JACK's native format and the format of all my mixes and multitrack files (i.e. jack_capture and in ardour). 

I don't advise using flac at all. I prefer wavpack, actually. Works swimmingly well with 32-bit float WAV's.

ogg would actually be my preference for storage and bandwidth reasons. If this is just a huge group jam, I can live with a lossy format.
