RE: WinRAR 5
xz, I believe, is just LZMA2

The main problem with the .tar.*z formats is that it's an entire archive wrapped in a compression stream.  This means that you need to decompress the entire thing before you can do anything useful to it (even viewing a file listing).
It does guarantee solid compression though, and keeps Unix file properties.
