.zip or .rar?

So which file format for an uploaded custom story do people prefer? Are there any drawbacks for either of them, or is it just personal preference? I want to make sure as many people can play my custom story as possible.

ZIP is more popular, but either one works on all platforms supported by the game.

Okay, thanks, I'm glad I made the right choice then. I made a .zip.

Really? I see a lot more rar than zip. o.o

In terms of compression, I think rar is slightly better, but not by much.

.rar offers better compression (usually by a few KB), but .zip is more standard and is supported on all platforms.
