Just want to repeat the point about mono. It'll cut your file sizes in half, no matter which format you go with. 

As far as format, I guess it depends on your purpose. If it's to just share memories, mono mp3 will go a long way. If you think family members will want to download and store the recordings, lossless compression of some sort may be the ticket.
