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

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