Thanks for highlighting that there are different netCDF interface packages in

RNetCDF package (however the conclusions remain the same).

I'll cast my vote (along with Rich) for netcdf4-classic (netcdf4 format
using the 'classic model' API). It may require users to upgrade to a
newer version of their favorite analysis tool, but it's really pretty
painless. They won't have to change any code, and you get smaller file
sizes (with compression) and faster IO (without compression) for free.
