flac is a lossless format, any setting will be safe.

edit: unless you meant metadata or other non-audio data such as cue points, loop data etc. I don't think flac supports that stuff and will just ignore it when it packs the file. So if that's what you are worried about losing then don't use flac.

Like Dozius said - you won't lose anything and every setting is safe with FLAC, but I suggest you use the default settings [-5 compression]. I experimented with FLAC a lot and found the default settings work best for everything. It's not LAME or some other lossy codec so you don't have to worry too much about the settings

.

Cheers!
