Not quite sure why RAR should not be used unless it is the fact that Calibre peeks inside that format to see if it contains a recognisable eBook and if so extracts it before adding it to the Calibre library.

And, ZIP and RAR files are also auto-converted to CBZ and CBR if they contain nothing but images. I use this feature a lot for comics etc. So if I see a book has a ZIP or a RAR format then its probably a sign the archive I added has a stray non image file.
I would use a 7Z format for supplementary archives, e.g. for multi-part audio books, in part because my file manager can open them directly.
