While publishing upgrades in .img.gz file format is now possible with LibreELEC I prefer .tar files as it's easier to extract files from the .tar, and also I'm able to embed details of each build inside the .tar (which is more difficult with .img.gz). Also, upgrading using the .tar file is always going to be a little quicker and kinder on your SD card than .img.gz.
As there'd be no point in me publishing both .tar *and* .img.gz files (I'd drop .tar if I ever published .img.gz) I continue to publish what is for me the more flexible, faster and easier to use upgrade file format. Anyone looking to perform a fresh .img install can use the latest disk image LibreELEC release then upgrade as normal using the .tar.
