PeaZip appears to rely on 7zip for most of its supported formats. So Peazip isn't really an alternative if you want to avoid 7zip out of security concerns.

I personally like libarchive and its bsdtar CLI, which also supports a wide range of formats. I don't know if there's any popular GUI frontend for it though.

The native archive support that was recently added to Windows itself is backed by libarchive.

Doesn't streaming architecture of libarchive make it a poor choice for working with random access archives?
