Archive vs Compression for Backup

Hey Guys, We have an web hosting website we want to store the main website's backup in our Google Drive. We use cPanel/WHM Control Panel and JetBackup for Backups.
The current MySQL Database Size is something 5GB and Total Disk Usage (excluding database) is 4GB
Please recommend should we use Archiving or Compression in JetBackup Backups?

Compression + archive
Well compression will most likely save you a lot of space, especially with a database, you can easily go from 5GB to a few Mb, with the site itself, it depends, if it has a lot of code, then compression as well, if its a lot of files/images archive will do.
If it supports zstd use that instead of gzip it saved me about 20% on backup creating time..
