Hi Frederic, thanks for your work. Have you tested 7z?
It makes no difference to me. River suggested (and installed) xz, so I used it, but 7z would have worked too.
A quick test using my biased data for one day (but it should be representative enough):
$ du -s * 1027260 7z 1004 M, 25.27% saved 1374804 gz 1.4 G, 0% saved 1020692 xz 997 M, 25.75% saved
The difference between xz and 7z is negligible (<1%).
xz has a much saner syntax.
