Thanks for the info so far...
I guess there are really three questions then:

1. Can anyone accept .gz as input from a station/ODC? (looks like yes)

2. Should we consider switching to offering new data in .gz starting
at some well-announced future point in time?

3. Should we consider changing all the historical archives
to .gz?

In my mind (2) does not necessarily imply (3) especially since
there are tools that can uncompress both styles, which makes it
not too difficult for a user to handle a set of old + new data
which is part .Z and part .gz.

Best regards,
Angie
