IIRC, you have more options that will read flac than other lossless options at this point in time.For EAC use the Tutorial at

Ignore the Lame stuff and mp3 stuff.
EAC has a setup choice where it will check/set your offset - Check your drive offset in the EAC list - what is in the list and what is greyed out should be the same -
Download flac and set EAC to compress when you rip
Then

Check the options for EAC to check with Freedb.
When you're done, eac will check with Accurate Rip to verify the integrity ( They call if confidence) of your rip.
EAC will also give error messages, and/or copy OK.
Those three are pretty slick and work well together in my newly limited experience. You put a CD in, select all, copy and compress - it'll rip, compress and verify - pretty easy - takes longer to compress them
I'm doing the above - and just starting to rip CD's.
Using my first ten CD's as a guide - using flac you're looking at 31.5 gig per 100 CD's -
