    In theory, Zcash has better privacy than XMR; in practice, due to XMR's mandatory privacy, XMR is probably better overall but depends on what exactly you're doing and how.

    Zcash is cooler crypto; XMR is relatively boring. Of course, boring and working is what you want in money.

    Monero's a good project that has done many things right, and seems to be run by ethical people.

    CT is just one of the things Monero has done; ring sigs are another.

    Both have trade-offs that Bitcoin doesn't have. For example, it'd be a lot harder to notice a technical failure that allowed inflation in Monero. There are also scalability issues.
