I have no stock in C-z. But how much do you use undo in the minibuffer? Again, we're only speaking here of bindings in the _minibuffer completion_ keymaps - "no global bindings would be harmed in the process". My point about C-z was that it is, a priori, a good idea to use: 1. a non-printing key sequence, 2. that is not likely to be useful in the minibuffer, 3. and that is convenient to type. C-z fits this mould fairly well. You might disagree about #2 (or #3) for C-z. In any case, for the same reason that I think C-SPC is handy for inserting a space, I would recommend C-SPC over C-z for word-completion (for those who prefer to flip my recommendation to leave SPC bound to word completion).
