Which is better sounding as far as sound quality goes .mp3 or aac?

Audio Formats

File extension: .mp3
Bit rate: 32 to 320 kbps (Supports variable bit rate (VBR))
Sampling frequency*1: 32, 44.1, 48 kHz
WMA Media File format: ASF file format
File extension: .wma
Bit rate: 32 to 192 kbps (Supports variable bit rate (VBR))
Sampling frequency*1: 16, 22.05, 32, 44.1, 48 kHz (Stereo)

* Compatible with WM-DRM 10
AAC-LC*2 Media File format: MP4 file format
File extension: .mp4, .m4a
Bit rate: 16 to 320 kbps (Supports variable bit rate (VBR))*3
Sampling frequency*1: 8, 11.025, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48 kHz
(Stereo/Mono)
Linear PCM Media File format: Wave-Riff file format
File extension: .wav
Bit rate: 1,411 kbps
Sampling frequency*1: 44.1 kHz (Stereo/Mono)
these formats and sampling rates and bit rates are what my player can handle it is only a 4GB player and my whole collection will not fit on it in LPCM obviously.

For me aac works perfectly fine and the sound quality is pretty much the same compared to even some 320kps songs I got. It takes up less space than mp3s so it's a plus either way, but the only problem is it takes ages converting each one to be aac.
