is there such a thing as a 'best overall, one size fits all' format to use for sound on a web site? i've been using mp3's , rm's and wav's. question is, can i just pick one and go with it.

two immediate needs are:
1 - for station listeners to hear show snippets, phoners and bits.
2 - for clients and producers to audition station voice over artists.

thanks in advance.
