I've used both Yokozuna and Jagwire compressionless housing on different bikes. I found that yokozuna had slightly less compression than jagwire but it's more difficult to work with since it's a larger diameter than normal housing requiring special ferrules and is more work to cut also. The ferrules and housing design also don't seal up quite as nicely as the Jagwire setup.

There is inherently some compression in spiral housing no matter how it is routed, that is why it isn't used in shifting (with indexing especially there is just enough compression that it won't work correctly). Truthfully unless you are trying to get every bit of performance out of your setup it's not a huge difference though. The switch on my mountain bike from cable discs to hydros was much bigger than standard housing to compressionless swap for example.
