Strangely I've always been partial to WinACE. I know it isn't the most popular but it suits my needs fine. It is NOT crap as it is fast and it compresses very well. I honestly believe it wasn't given a proper eval in this test as I know it to give compression ratios very similar to WinRAR.

Plus even though I get an annoying popup once in while about not being registered, WinACE is still fully functional.
