Best freeware for zipping/unzipping?

I'm trying to move my PT database to a new PC. I have win zip on the old one. Should I get something different for the new one?

I prefer WinRAR, but 7zip is also good in my limited experience.

winrar or stick with winzip, either are fine

WinRAR

Thank you folks.

Windows XP will handle zip files with no additional software. A zip file will be shown as a "compressed folder". Winzip and many of the other applications mentioned in this thread will handle other archive and comression formats (tar, gzip, comress, etc.) that XP's explorer won't, though.
