I use PlexTools and Custom Script.

Yeah I beleive the Plextor does use C2. You can also set it up so that if if C2 check fails you can specify:

How many times it retires.
Whether to read at a slower speed
How to recover - I normally use the highest recovery "Recover the best bytes (least errors) per sector"

I have compared EAC to Plextools and it produces identical results.

I rip to WAV and then I have a Cygwin/UNIX bash script that invokes flac to encode and tag. I find this faster than any GUI interface. But I am a software engineer so I wouldn't recommend this method to the average person.

Here is my script for you computer geeks (you need to have Cygwin/Bash installed). I edit this with the right tag info for each CD:

#!/usr/bin/bash

artist="Mo'Guajiro"
year="1999"
genre="Salsa"
album="Pueblo Alegre"

for i in *.wav
do
track=`echo $i | cut -d" " -f1 | sed 's/^0//'`
title=`echo $i | cut -d" " -f2- | sed 's/.wav//'`

"C:/Program Files/FLAC/flac.exe" \
-V -5 -T "Artist=$artist" -T "Title=$title" -T "Album=$album" \
-T "Date=$year" -T "TrackNumber=$track" -T "Genre=$genre" "$i"

if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
echo flac conversion failed on $i
exit 1
fi
done
