In today's Broadband speeds file compression is not needed as well as the DVD media being cheap and hard drives cheap compression is not something I do not mess with anymore.

Your opinion. What file compression utility do you use? I am using a combination of two utilities. Stuffit Deluxe 6.5, yes it still functions (mostly) under snow leopard. I also use the built in archiver in OS X. I like the features of stuffit that allow me to view the archive contents and uncompress only the file or files that I want, and not the entire archive. The encryption feature is also nice. The built in archiver has no features other than just compressing. I want to back up ancient files. I don't want to just toss things I have created but don't use anymore. So fellow experts, in these days of cheap storage, should I even worry about compression? What do you use and why?
