As for the GNU tools, yes most sysadmins use some of them

feature.
In fact, as I discovered a few days ago (after all, how often does
one read
tar(1)'s manpage?), you only need to use -z and -j when creating a tar
archive. bsdtar(1) recognises bzip2 and gzip compression on reading an
archive and handles them automatically.
