Well there is another lesser known newer shareware ripper out that boasts secure extraction with error correction. Authors claim you MUST use a drive that doesn't have buggy firmware to get results. I have a LiteON and a Plextor with latest firmware and EAC still did a better job. But it is new only 2 releases so far and it did get alot of mixed feedback on the r3mix/cdrw.org forums.
