In the MAUG forums, they've decided that:

StuffIt Classic 1.6 or Deluxe is the "Recommended Standard"
Compactor is an "Acceptable Format"

And, indeed, they've gone to great pains to make a file available which is simply
all the freebie extractors for their acceptable archivers.  A fair compromise,
IMHO.
