For best results you can lha/lzx with no compression and compress the resulting archive with 7z/lzma/xz. That way the amiga attributes are preserved while also getting the best compress ratio.

I didn't.  I made the archive with lha.
But I wanted to see if the archive survived the transfer thru my ancient Ethernet card to my bgcPC so I test extracted the files using 7zip.

Well 7zip lha implementation is quite buggy then.
