GZ: GZ is a single file compressed with gzip. Web servers, logs and databases use it heavily. Unlike ZIP, it holds only one file.
7Z: 7Z is the 7-Zip archive format. Its LZMA2 compression usually makes files 10–40% smaller than ZIP, and it supports strong AES-256 encryption including encrypted file names.
