All of them must handle files collected by some way (directory, tar, zip, etc) and each way allows nesting. Perhaps merging into the dired-mode is the best because it is natural to treat an archive file as a directory, and it seems that dired-mode provides most powerful features. Then, the current filename problem can be solved just in one place. Is it over-ambitious? In principle it should be possible to combine them. It may be possible to use some of the code of Dired, but tend to think it would be a pain in the neck to use that code unchanged.
