WAV. WAV stores raw PCM samples with no compression at all. What you save is exactly what the editor sees, which is why studios and editors use it.
OGG. Ogg Vorbis is an open, patent-free lossy codec. Games, Android notification sounds and many Linux apps use it.
What happens to quality
WAV is lossless and OGG is lossy, so the conversion discards some detail. At the default bitrate most listeners can’t hear the difference, and the file becomes far smaller. Hear the difference between lossless and MP3 yourself.
