The Compressed Image is not necessarily heavier for the system, because there is a tradeoff between:
If you have enough CPU on the robot to do compression (or especially if the camera already does it for you), then the Compressed Image can work better overall. I would advise you to look for ways to transport the image data NOT using ROS topics - in my experience, they are not really designed for efficient high-bandwidth data transfer.
