Wetsuit: Zone3 or Zoot?

I have the opportunity to get either Zone3 or Zoot wetsuits at a great price via my local store. Plus I can TRY the suits so I’ll get the precise fit I need.
But I have no idea, since it’ll be my first suit, about quality, performance.
So I’m asking, wich brand, model is the best buy between the two ?
I’ll be using it in lakes or rivers (no salt water), only a few times a year. Oly or half. Waters not super cold, within limits to wear a wetsuit.

I think Zone 3 are a better quality, more professional level suit, see heaps on the WTS start lines, dunno if ever seen a Zoot up there. In saying that the best suit is the one that fits you best.

If you have the chance to try em on first do that. Some brands have different cut around the collar for example, that might give you a comfortable feeling or you feel a little restricted.
The more expensive the more flex you will find in the shoulder usually.
Don’t know zone3 but found the zoot prophet faster than my orca Sonar I swam at that time.
