Compression Assemblies for C#/.Net?

I know about SharpZipLib...but what else is out there? I'd like to make myself a file archiving utility that supports multiple compression formats. Any ideas?

http://dotnetzip.codeplex.com/ <-- imho easier than sharpziplib

http://sevenzipsharp.codeplex.com/ <-- wrapper around 7zip

http://www.chilkatsoft.com/zip-dotnet.asp <-- not free. bz2, gzip and .z

There's the built-in System.IO.Compression library which supports GZip and Deflate. That's not a bad place to start as its documentation is better than most.
