the newest winzip can open rar and zip alike
but winrar can open zip,rar,iso,ace,cab,tar to name a few for years now i prefer just to use one and that's winrar

A zip file compresses the file to a smaller size whereas a rar file just puts all files in a package at the same size.

actually, you have both options (one file or multiple files) with both. rar is slower to create/extract the files, but it gets a better compression ratio compared to zip or gzip
