It depends on the situation. If the files are just for local use (no
one is downloading them) then the factors are disk space, RAM and time.
If disk space is tight and you've got lots of time and RAM, xz is a
good choice. If you've got lots of disk space and you don't like
waiting, good old gz is still a reasonable choice.
