7zip: great free and open source archiver program, but the lack of iso support and explorer view makes it to be the second choice
izarc: currently using it, everything's fine except the speed issue
TUGzip: the previous archiver in my sys till I found a extraction problem
ZipGenius: looks good, sounds good, haven't tried it though

I use 7-Zip because it is free, open-source and light-weight. It does what it supposed todo. No fuss.

ISO support will be coming in the future...

I agree. I switched to 7-zip from WinRAR and I like it a lot. Just wish you could compress to rar format.

I love zip genius. My favorite thing it does is the context menu that allows you to zip/unzip files. Like this:

7-Zip because the author of the best compression system made it and because it isnt bloated like a lot of other compression applications. the UI is a little confusing but nevertheless, it's still a good program.

WinRAR.

i use PowerArchiver...

out of the 4 (7zip, IZArc, TUGzip, ZipGenius) i prefer 7Zip...
simple program with a simple interface... but does the job...

IZArc, a nice program but its explorer context menu doesnt suit me... i dont like it...

TUGZip seems creepy to me... anyway, its *.RAR plugin crash me system...

ZipGenius crash/error when i change option and press the "OK" button...
