Welcome to OT, Chreos!
Choose based on which reticle you prefer. Or, which is lighter, shorter, etc. Or, if the Zeiss is a newer version with "LotuTec" hydrophobic lens coatings, I'd probably go with it, since I value these new hydrophobic coatings. From a performance standpoint, they're as equivalent as two scopes from competing brands get.
Optically, neither is really better than the other. There will be subtle differences, and your eye may slightly prefer one over the other, but they are comparable enough that there won't be a consensus on which outperforms the other. Needless to say, both are superb.
