You should experiment. 

Speex has certain advantages, like low-latency, low cpu requirements (and 
not-too-asymettric cpu requirements), etc. If you need any of those, vorbis 
is probably useless to you. If you don't, then it's a matter of what bitrate 
and what sort of content you're targetting. For encoding pre-existing content 
(i.e. not encoding live), you'll probably find vorbis better suited to your 
task - unless you want to use _really_ low bitrates. But experiment - it's 
easy to do, and then you'll know what is better for what you're trying to do.
