I didn't know Tar was just a way to pack together files with no compression. Now tar.gz makes sense to me :)
You know that zip has an option to not compress which would make it work in the same way as a tar file.
While I prefer tar (and agree with other comments that tar/zip'ing stops you picking files to download) I believe zip is a bit more supported in Windows environments :-p
