Your opinion: Half the size of 7-zip. Cleaner interface. Portable version already available. Benefits over other portable compression software include Fast Drag and Drop (large files are uncompressed to destination directory directly rather than going to a temp folder and then copied to destination folder) and High Speed Archiving (if you try and compress archives, Bandizip will skip trying to compress them further to speed up archiving process). Newer kid on the block, but seems to be pulling ahead in terms of features. Also supports command line archiving/extraction. Only caveat is that portable version seems to include 32 bit version only.
