I voted for winrar
I use winrar a lot, so RAR, but I like 7z as I use it sometimes with my backups.
7zip has better compression, but rar seems to more widely used. So, I use it too.
I use WinRAR, and the .rar format. I guess The Scene has influenced me too much.
I use the command line versions of them. WinRAR is free this way and 7z is great for automatic archival and stuff.
Technically, I;m using both and I have no problems with archive formats getting replaced.

7zip soupports 256bits AES encryption

This and:7zip better compression ratio
- it is free for personal and commercial use
- it has better encryption
- Self-Extracting Archives are much flexible than in RAR
- it is smaller in size and lightwieght in memory footprint
So, are we using programs because they are popular?RAR is more popular...
Perhaps winrar has more features but I don't you use them all. This is an archiver and it contains everything related to archives. Not fancy stuff.
If you pack 7-zip app with compressed archive, you still have smaller file than rar =)
