I have a large file of size 500 mb to compress in a minute with the best possible compression ratio. I have found out these algorithms to be suitable for my use.
Can someone give a comparison of speed and compression ratios between these algorithms?

LZ4 is very fast both when compressing and decompressing, but the compression ratio is rather disappointing. DEFLATE is a very effective and well balanced compromise between speed and effectiveness. It achieves a decent compression ratio and it's fast enough during both compression and decompression.
LZ4 is a lossless data compression algorithm that is focused on compression and decompression speed. It belongs to the LZ77 family of byte-oriented compression schemes.
LZ4HC is a high compression variant of LZ4. LZ4HC compression results in larger compressed files than LZMA, but does not require the entire bundle to be decompressed before use.
Yann Collet's lz4, hands down.
