I use WinRAR because 7zip's handling of tar.gz/bz is abysmal. It first opens the .gz so you have a list containing the tar. Then you can double click the tar to browse it, but it will need to extract it fully to the temp folder first. WinRAR opens a .tar.gz like any other single-format archive (zip, rar, 7z) so it's much much faster, but also more intuitive. Even though I use WinRAR, I only create ZIPs for compatibility with others. I would also stick to ZIPs if I were to use 7zip.
