The determining factor, IMHO, is whether the server box is going to be dedicated
to your site (and/or domain) or if your ISP will host multiple virtual domains
on the same box. If it's going to be a dedicated box, there is no reason not to
run ZServer. It is certainly simpler to set up.

ZAP is an Apache installation preconfigured to run Zope. you will likely want to
at least examine the configuration files from ZAP even if you want to configure
Apache to run Zope yourself (ZAP uses a slightly older version of Apache).
