never heard of OGA. i know about
OGG (can be used for flac, putting flac in an ogg container),
FLAC (is the standard)
OGM used as a video container. can contain flac files as well.

i think FLAC is used for portable players and other hardware

no, native FLAC has almost all the support (for squeezebox you can trancode on the server).  FLAC in Ogg is better for editing, muxing >8 channels or with other codecs.
