I just made the comparison chart. With reference to result, tar.bz2 is a winner. However, the zip archive is relatively easy to share. As most of the device are capable of handling zip. So, we can conclude that tar.bz2 or tar.gz is better for a backup purpose. For sharing, zip format is good.

zip vs tar vs tar.gz vs tar.bz2
