Long time ago I was happy with
Ac Browser Plus, mainly because how well it handled thumbnails and looking in archives. It has been abandoned as far as I know.
In my early DC days I heard about Directory Opus, downloaded a trial and it didn't last long, can't say I remember why. Along the way tried a few others like
CubicExplorer but have settled on XYplorer. Looking forward to "Native support for ZIP and RAR" being crossed off XYplorer's roadmap
