Sample accurate editing is with AAC is a pain though. Especially if you also have video, because frame rates are usually incompatible.

If you want flexibility without fully transcoding both audio and video, Opus is your friend

Editing with any playback-only format like AAC or H.264/5 is a pain.

Everyone I've seen complaining about slow choppy playback in DaVinci Resolve appears to be using long-GOP codecs which require a massive amount of processing to decode. It's something like playing out two seconds of video to access every single frame.

Opus is your friend as long as the software you’re using supports it—besides, Apple’s AAC-LC can beat out Opus in low bitrates scenarios.

Whether you like it or not, AAC is still the standard.
