I think if you control both ends of the interaction, lz4 or snappy may be interesting to use. But for most things, I do think gzip is better supported (especially http).

I'm storing data in redis via node.js. It was taking forever to xfer it over the wire. I compressed it with gzip using node's built in support. Problem solved.

I tried snappy, but found it was a) slower and b) bigger. Not having to have yet another dependency was also a plus for gzip.
