I use bru (EST). That program has software compression and they recommend using hardware compression. You do not say what hardware you are using; my experience is with low-end DAT tape drives. I have had more problems re-reading compressed tapes. As I consider this slightly worse than death, I avoid it with my hardware - YMMV ;) You can probably get more info on the hardware mailing list.
