> Please tell me which format is better for recovering most of the files from the multifile archive if the corruption occurs somewhere (e.g. a small part of the whole archive file gets corrupted): the tar.gz or the Zip?

For the same filesize as the zip you could transmit the tar.gz + a par2, which would be much better for recovery from such corruption.
