It's a matter of priorities.
If you want sounds that will stand out in the mix, z3ta all the way. For the classic, progressive/melodic sound that I happen to love, z3ta seems to do the trick. z3ta is a lead-making powerhouse, be it supersaw or something else. In any event, I love z3ta because it happens to make a great number of sounds that I'm looking for. With the right EQing, it seems to do some deep, trancy basses, too.
I complained about Albino 2 in a thread a month or so ago, but I've recently reinstalled it and gotten back into it. What I've learned is that Albino is very good at smooth sounds. Smooth, fluid basses and pads seem to be what it excels at. z3ta really stands out, and if you want something a bit more ambient, it would probably be easier to make in Albino. Some on this forum have compared Albino to a Virus, if you're familiar with hardware.
In terms of difficulty, they're about even. If you're familiar with synthesis in general, neither should be all too hard to use with enough fooling around. There are a wide variety of presets for both, as well, which you can tweak to your pleasure.
I suppose that this thread is a potential flame war, because production always comes down to preference (like what sequencer to use, what monitor to use, what hardware to buy, or software v. hardware.) Really it is just what you're trying to do. Download the demos for both and see which fit your style/sound.
