MIDI isn’t an audio format but a data format.

OGG – Ogg Vorbis format is the same file size as MP3 but with better sound quality.

MP3 – MPEG-2 Audio Layer III is a smaller file size, with a bitrate of about 128-320kbps, but the sound quality isn’t as good as lossless audio files like FLAC.

Lossy files mean a smaller file size, but sound quality suffers. It’s basically Zip compression but for audio.

FLAC – Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) files are compressed without any loss of sound quality – FLAC files are about half the size of WAV, and bitrate is 1411kbps or higher.

WAV – the most popular lossless file format, compatable with both Mac and PC.

With Lossless sound quality, what you put in is exactly what you get out, with no quality lost. So how do you export in different audio types from FL Studio?
