Presumably you're ripping to archive/store that data long term in which case you should use a lossless codec like FLAC.
OTOH if you're planning on re-ripping these CDs every year or something then it doesn't really matter what codec you use since you're going to do the work all over again anyway.
I'm archiving but also listening to them. I use navidrome as an audio server. But with Mobil internet it's like 1h waiting for 10s music.
Your music streaming software should be auto transcoding your music files so that it streams quicker to your mobile. Maybe look into forcing it to transcode to a lower quality so it streams faster? I've never heard of navidrome but other software does that stuff without thinking about it (Jellyfin for example).
It does support it even on a client bases. Navidrone is a server using the subsonic api. It just takes ages on my little pi to transcode.
