This raises interoperability questions. If  Mail::DMARC sends out gzip

able to process them?  Should I be sending them as zip compressed files until 
then?

Send whatever is most convenient, appealing, etc. for _*you*_ (if you really can't decide then I'd suggest going with the trend of the spec and use gzip). You're already doing Domain Owners a pretty big favour by sending the report in the first place, those who are unable to process the compression scheme that you choose will be unable to avail themselves of your largesse until they resolve the following sticky conundrum:

1. add the handful of lines of code required to bring in another
   library and invoke it to uncompress a gzip when that's what the
   report is compressed with
2. or, live without the benefit of your feedback.

I'd suggest that any Domain Owner who actually wants your feedback will be willing to shoulder the immense burden of handling one more compression format.
