ive been using EAC + Lame high quality, but i didnt like the size of the files very much.

If file size is a concern, and you're willing to sacrifice quality or are unable to notice the difference, consider using a different switch. APS is designed to achieve transparent quality. r3mix was designed to make mp3s that sounded "perfect" to its' creator. Both with little regard for saving disk space.
--alt-preset standard -Y and
--alt-preset fast standard both offer slightly lower bitrates in comparison to plain old
--alt-preset standard. I've not done any comparitive tests, so I can't speak much about the resulting file sizes.
Or you can create mp3 files with an average bitrate (ABR), using the
--alt-preset switch. Example:
--alt-preset 160
This will usually produce an mp3 file with similar/equal quality but uses less disk space than it's CBR counterpart.

the kbps rate shown in winamp kept changing

That's because your making MP3 files with a
variable, instead of a
constant, bitrate.

i have 550kbps mp3s now O_O (the kbps rate that WinXP shows in the folder).

That's just Windows Explorer/whatever improperly calculating the bitrate.
Yes.

Please do share how things turn out for you. Especially with ogg.
