tar.* is not a good choice because it doesn't allow random access. Bare tar better than zip only in case when you need to save additional file attributes (Unix file access mode, times, owner, group, links). ZIP format supports all this too, but not zipfile module yet.

Adding bz2 or lzma compression to ZIP file shouldn't be too hard.
