Are we talking Windows? Get 7-Zip. It supports many formats and has great compression settings. Best of all: it’s free. (Open-Source, even.)
As Connie says, ZIP is the way to go if you want as many people as possible to be able to use it. That doesn’t mean there is no difference between how big the file is depending on what software you use. I’ve found 7-Zip able to often deliver the smallest ZIP files.
Mac OS uses exactly the same files as are used for Windows. To be fair, since most web servers use an Linux & Apache set-up, Mac OS gets closer to a web server than Windows. Mac OS is Unix based while Windows is DOS based. In general you will never get a conflict with filenames when going from Windows to Mac OS. The other way around can be troublesome since Mac allows for almost any character inside a file name. Including /, \, ! and ?.
GetSimple will be looking for the same files, it doesn’t care about the OS. There is only one right way for theme files, and that’s the way they are compatible with web browsers and the GetSimple software!
