6 compresses 99% as tightly as level 8, both decompress at the same rate. level 6 is a good compromise if you're in a rush.

I say get the new version of FLAC which is much faster and compress to level 8. Start it before you go to bed, it'll be done when you wake up no matter how big the fileset is.
