Okay, so I decided to backup and archive my online comic collection, and quite a few of them offer me the option of downloading as a PDF (High Quality), PDF (for Google Play), EPUB or CBZ/R. The HQ PDFs are the largest size, and the EPUBs/CBZ are approximately the same size. I have a 4TB portable drive, so if PDF is somehow better, I have no issue with storing them as that. I don't think I'd bother with the lower quality PDFs.

I'm not sure what I'll eventually read them on-my PC or some ebook reader or a tablet, so one format not working on some devices and the other not working on some other isn't an issue for me.

In terms of the formats themselves (image quality, format features, etc.) which would be the best? I know that CBZ/CBR are basically just images in a zip/rar file. Is that a bad thing? What about the other formats?
