both of these are good... But I use winrar because its got a simple "interface" and as most of the people said is easier to use.

I recommend winrar reasons being....
1. It supports many formats 2. It can unzip .zip files created by winzip 3. All zip and unzip options are done in the float menu... which is not the case in winzip. Easy to install though the same with winzip. What more? Its good.  - Thats all from my side.

hmm... well, i have personally tended to use winrar, due to its ability to not only open but also create rar files (winzip now has support to extract rar files but not to create them).
however, if i were you, i'd try out the newest archiver in town - kgb archiver. it has the highest compression of all - with the ability to shrink a 500mb office 2007 enterprise into an amazing 1.4mb! it does take a long time to create its kgb files, but the high compression ratio is worth it. it's not only the ability to create kgb files that i love about this program. first, and foremost, it's FREE. secondly, it also has the ability to create a wide range of other archives, and i have actually noticed that a rar archive created with kgb archiver has a higher compression ratio than the best compression of winrar. it is portable, so you can chuck it on your usb and use it on the go. also, it isn't very large - taking up no more than 20mb space. finally, it can extract a range of archive extensions. so far, i have not come across an archive that kgb cannot open. |

Well, I've always used winrar and it worked for everything very nice plus it is fast. Although I have to say that now that i use mac leopard, zips are unzipped a lot faster with the system-unzipper or betterzip...
I'd go for winrar.. |

Both are fine, but I use WinAce and it works nicely. Also, it's very easy to use. The free trial version you can get online can be used forever, although it will keep asking you to register you don't have to. Between Winrar and Winzip I'd prefer Winzip, but it stops working after 30 days...

winrar wins hands down... its biggest advantage... most things u download from a torrent or rapidshare are in .rar format.
it has many features... like splitting a file into parts, password protecting, self extractor, creating silent install, it also opens .iso files, and many more.... so still any doubts!!! |
