I recommend 7-zip. It's FREE, open source software, available for Windows, Linux, UNIX, and it supports all the Windows AND UNIX compression formats.
For personal use, I create 7-zip files because the compression is better than .zip, .rar, .tar, etc. You also the advantage of creating 7-zip files for your own use, which are more compressed than other formats.
