7zip does a great job at compressing...Takes three times longer to do it though....

I personally use 7-zip due to the fact that it is open source, handles almost every type of archive that I run into, and it's very basic and to the point, but has alot of features. Winzip annoys me due to the fact that it's only a trial unless you buy it and it nags to register it. I also like WinRAR, I used to use it till I found 7-zip. But WinRAR is not free as well...

I personally use 7-zip because it is free and open source. I have seen impressive results from a compression utility called winace.
