What is the best format settings to store a physical music?

I did look at Flac but the data is almost the same size as the uncompressed Wav and none of my devices or self hosted services seem designed to play flac files. Everything gets converted.

What are people using?

    I use FLAC for long-term storage, 256kbps Ogg when transcoding for mobile devices.

    Opus is the best lossy codec in terms of efficiency, but many devices/apps don’t properly support it.
