AFAIK the more the inflation the less the final size, not the case now and i wonder why.

Not the case always.

what comes after the inflation is the crucial part i think... some compressors work better for certain games

Thats always true, more inflation = more compression by a stronger compressor. But thats not the case here, the extra inflation that you see in these situations is not actually extra inflation but it is actually the loss data, in other ways you can understand it as patch data which is required to restore the new zlib/deflate stream created by the tool to original just like how reflate creates raw files. XTool is able to properly restore streams almost the same as original streams hence it doesn't have much loss data (the extra inflation which it is not) as compared to others.
