Yeah, well technically .cab is more common than tar.gz but that doesn't mean I'd start using it.
I personally use RAR because I think it's a better format than ZIP, but I use ZIP when I have to share the archive with anyone.
How does it compare to 7z (the file format) though?
According to this benchmark, 7z compression is better.
