RAR5 might be a clean base. Many of the other ones support vectorizing
(decided at run-time) so are somewhat more complex (although that might
be interesting for Pomelo too?). I suspect some of Claudio's formats
might be a good start too, I haven't looked much at them as he actively
maintains them himself.
