There will always be cases where one cruncher performs better than the other - the use case is in topic, and a few bytes don't matter as much as ease of use and reliability.

As per topic, overlay support is not needed.
ProPack seems good. Last updated Feb 1992. Were hunk types introduced after that that is in common use, so that I couldn't recommend it for e.g. WB3.1?

Shrinkler replace it? And other crunchers may have the edge for graphics or music which is part of a demo, but not a utility. Ratio doesn't have to best, but should be good.
And Shrinkler is good, but depack speed prohibitive @ 7MHz as has been mentioned.
Cranker seems good as well, its best feature loading while decrunching.
Any more crunchers that should be mentioned specifically for "
good behavior when depacking", can depack a pushing-the-RAM-limits OCS 1MB demo on OCS 1MB without using much overhead/stack?
