the rar-archive has a better compression than zip-archives.
You're right on the compression part but, a .zip file doesn't need a special program installed to be
decompressed. It's already built into the operating system. :)

I prefer IZArc to 7-zip but the choice is yours.

Most geeks use 7-zip. Supports plenty of formats and has it's own format(.7z) that is just darn good. :)

Then I am not a geek. :)  Used Winzip only for 10 years.

The word Geek gave me assosiactions to another thread...
Say no more, as he said. ;)
