HD audio format - Lossless audio codecs: PCM vs Dolby True HD vs DTS HD-MA questions

[Blackraven]

I know there were similar threads before but didn't get a straight answer regarding specifics. Searched for "lossless audio codecs" but found nothing much either .

Anyways, I know that there are THREE lossless audio codecs available for Blu-ray.

1) Pulse Code Modulation
2) Dolby TrueHD
3) DTS Hi-Definition- Master audio

The first one is uncompressed while the other two are compressed. I do know that the last two need royalties/payments before usage while the first one is free.

So my questions are:

-Which is the best?
-Which is the worst?
-Which one is the all-rounder? (jack of all trades but master of none)
-Pros of one over the other?
-Cons of one over the other?
-If the uncompression of these compressed formats is fast enough, wouldn't that make it at par with PCM in audio quality
-Since PCM is uncompressed, would it have an advantage over the other two as the decoder/computer chips wouldn't have to go through another process(es) before outputting the audio?

Thanks.
