If you will be adding this functionality to a form it would be marginally easier with the OCX because many of the properties and methods are exposed on the property sheet. If you are implementing it in code, like a programatic class, it makes little difference. If you go the code route the DLL carries a smaller footprint but allows the same functionality.
I agree with Glenn. I use DynaZip here mostly in utility code to maintain system applications and data files. So I go the DLL route.
