Personally, if I were going off of what was available on Linux, I'd be using tar.gz or tar.bz2, but that's not very Windows friendly. Pretty much nothing other than zip is Windows friendly. Yes, you _can_ install programs that will you allow you to decompress the file, but that just raises the barrier of entry to downloading and trying out dmd.
I've tried various tar programs for Windows, and they all stink. The bad smells usually emanate from multiple failures to deal with differences in how the file systems work.
