All of them take wav-files. Bladeenc is reported to produce not so good quality on low sampling rates (but my computer sound system isn´t adequate to determine, if this is really true). Lame is (or at least was) based on the Fraunhofer ISO-reference implementation and does a good quality job. Gogo is a pentium optimized version of lame, so the encoding is much faster. I´ve heard once, that gogo in the meantime also supports AMD K2/3, but I´m not sure about this. Check on their homepage.
