At the very least, an A8R8G8B8 DDS file is lossless and interchangeable with TGA files (if named .tga, EQ will still load it correctly). This wasn't always true, and may still not be, at least with the compressed DXT versions; if the file wasn't loaded explicitly as a DDS file by EQ, it would cause an error.

Anyhow, I have converted my UIs over to 8888 and gotten a drastic increase in sharpness. Thanks for asking questions as you got me fiddling around with DDS files again as well.
