I like to think in absolute terms :P.  Reducing a 1GB file to 900MB is much better than reducing a 100MB file to 20MB, on the consideration of file storage and downloading ;)

I dunno why Deflate was removed as an option from the 7-Zip GUI for 7z archives (maybe cause LZMA2 pretty much covers everything?) - the CLI still supports it.  PPMd > LZMA/2 for text, but I dunno why BZip2 is there...

No-one cares about PAQ!
