Probably the thing to bear in mind when selecting a CD ripper is that it's pretty much a solved problem. If there's anything particularly bad or missing in the ripper you have, then you'll almost certainly be able to find another one that fixes it and is otherwise just about as good.
Since they almost all use the same codecs (Blade or LAME), the actual audio should be the same for everything, so it's mostly down to usability, cosmetics and how well the ripper deals with buggered (including copy-protected) CDs. And even that's largely down to the drive and it's firmware.
