Vote in for the Hellcat. But they both fly very similarly.
Oh, I forgot! I have a genuine reason for this.
The Hellcat has a LOT more room inside.With the Zero I had to spend a while moving stuff around to figure out a way to fit the battery and ESC in the nose. The Hellcat has twice the room in the nose (as it had twice the engine!) and I can move things around wherever I feel like them being for CG. The Zero is just packed in, there's no hope of decent airflow in there. The Hellcat I could clean up some, push things to the side if there ever is a heat issue.
The Zero has a plastic air intake (non functional) that is glued under the cowl. For belly landing, it just isn't possible. It tore off on a very tame landing and I replaced it with a hunk of foam carved to mimic the intake. Behind the intake are two exhaust stacks, which I'm sure will break off sooner or later. I have black foam ready for that day. The Hellcat is a lot better belly landing as it is all smooth underneath and there's nothing to catch. The winger is more in the middle of the plane than way at the bottom in the Zero.
So Hellcat wins.
