Good question and I'm afraid I don't have a good answer to it. :-) I chose to start by BWT for three reasons: 1) I have been researching suffix arrays and suffix trees for my MSc thesis on information retrieval algorithms, so I'm familiar with suffixes sorting and BWT, and maybe I gonna do my PhD on the subject; 2) lzo is copyrighted, so it's not clear if it can be used on ZFS; 3) lzo is just another implementation of Ziv-Lempel while BWT is a completely different approach. Why not try it?
