what's the archive type with the bext size compression (lowest size after archiving) but that has partial extraction (extracting specific files) ? in c/[email protected]

Depends on your data, but there are two major contenders for that title: 7z (with solid mode off) and zpaq. You will probably get slightly better compression on zpaq, but it's not widely known.

Using 7zip: which format is recommended to use when archiving data, .7z or .zip? in c/[email protected]

They'll both be readable for the foreseeable future. 7z has the advantage of better compression, but other than that they are pretty much the same.
