Is compressing safe for archiving?

I had a friend of mine backup my Gamecube discs because he has a compatible drive. This question is only for Gamecube ISOs (though it would be helpfull for others who backup Wii games).

Is using the compression feature ok for archiving?

I don't have a Blu-Ray burner yet and you can't trust hard drives to last forever. I don't use DVD-DL for archiving for stability issues. I'm already looking at about 25+ DVDs (Verbatim DVD+R). 7Zip sometimes gives good results, but not always.

Should I suck it up an stick with ISOs, lots of DVDs, lots of time and find a new box?

Thanks!

(If this is already answered, I couldn't find it so a link to a post that answers this question would be fine)
