Depends on the quality of the MP3 I suppose. In my experience, it's hard to distinguish between CD Quality and an MP3 recorded at anything over 192KBps.
As for Wav's I'm not sure mate, I know they're massive and they're supposedly better quality, but thats about all I know.
I'd probably plump for a high quality MP3, cos I wouldn't wanna spend all that time arseing around with massive files
If your music never was compressed down to MP3's, I'd burn it as a standard CD (wave files). If the music has already been through the compression stage, Id save space and use MP3's.
When you copy MP3s to a CDR you'll have short gaps between the tracks. On most albums you wouldn't hear that. But in case you would like to copy a live album from MP3 to CDR it can be very annoying with the short gaps in it.

Which reminds me.. I just bought an mp3 player (read CDRs with MP3s burned on them) a week or so back. Best investment ever! I can carry almost my entire CD collection on a handful of CDs!
Woot!
I bought an APEX DVD player from Walmart a few months back. It cost me $80 and it plays CD's, DVD's, CD-R's, CD-RW's, CD(0r CD-r,CD-rw) with JPEGS, MP3's, VCD,or SVCD.
