I assume you are using dial-up, but even with cable I found the bz2 files to be smaller enough to get a better download speed. I suppose if you do not have bunzip2 you would need the gzip file, but I have seen the kernel size decerase by about 2-3 mb using the bzip2 format. Again, not to be picky here but bzip2 seems to be emerging as the new standard and even a few bytes helps with dial-up.
