7 Zip http://www.7-zip.org/ is my favorite compression utility.

From their web site:
The main features of 7-Zip

For ZIP and GZIP formats, 7-Zip provides a compression ratio that is 2-10 % better than the ratio provided by PKZip and WinZip
Strong AES-256 encryption in 7z and ZIP formats
Self-extracting capability for 7z format
