I typically use the dagrab audio extraction tool
(http://web.tiscalinet.it/marcellou/dagrab.html) for the ripping portion of 
my mp3 encoding; it's reasonably fast, has cddb support, and has dozens
of options including a filename naming options that will include
information variables retrieved from a cddb server such as the author's
name, track name, and album name.

As do many other users, I use the bladeenc encoder which has worked just
lovely for my uses, which is 44Khz encoding at 128kb/sec. I've also heard
just lovely things about the LAME encoder (http://www.sulaco.org/mp3/),
but I'm afraid that I can't speak about that personally, however.
