Zip files can be opened on pretty much any OS with built-in software, while .tar.gz on Windows requires third-party software to be used and doesn't integrate as seamlessly into built-in file manager.

Even on Linux where there is likely stock software with .tar.gz support, it it still a bad choice since it doesn't allow efficient extraction of random files the same way Zip does.

Basically .tar.gz is almost never a great choice, so consider using .zip instead.
