what’s the archive type with the bext size compression (lowest size after archiving) but that has partial extraction (extracting specific files) ?

    That is kind of inconsequential as you can always compress the files individually if you wish and then make a tar with all of them together.

    The question is what files you have, based on that various algorithms would do better or worse. And of course not doing solid archives would add a penalty to most algorithms if the files are somehow similar.
