Bottom line. Given that /administrators/ will be largely responsible for how RC works, and given that PHP readily handles all the other compressors. Doesn't it make more sense to go with what already comes with their PHP/ server base. Then let /them/ decide what packer/unpacker is best suited for their userbsase?
I seem to have the wrong friends / family :) Mine don't install anything and they click on something and want it to open... They even don't know the difference between Windows and Word ("I write my texts with Windows."). So I don't expect them to know what the difference between ZIP, RAR and GZ is nor to decide what to choose.
On the other side I have quite some experience with SW development and trust me, keep it simple and don't add features that you can't get rid off in future... clean, easy code is also very important.
Again another 2 cents.
