I've got a server which primarily is a file server, CPU usage and the like aren't my major concerns, compression rates are. When the amount of data you're using is measured in terabytes you can fit a lot more data on if the compression technique is more aggressive.
I started out with lzo because I didn't know any better when I first used btrfs, I just saw it on the Arch wiki or an online tutorial, tried it and it worked (and I got noticeably more data on my disks). I've since enabled zlib on the latest disk I added more recently. I'm very happy with the results.
