He would choose MP3, because nobody really cares about the sound quality ;-)

As a web devbeloper I mainly care about the user experience. Does it
play at all? I guess it will take another year until >95% of the users
will have Flash Player 10 or some browser installed that support the
<audio> tag and Vorbis. Also the webdeveloper is free to use an aoTuV
Vorbis encoder.

Don't panic!
