I have one of each and have fished both extensively.
I like both, I trust both (bottom line).
Performance-wise the Zee is better. Smoother all the way around. Great drag and great power.
The Zee is my number one reel, I fished it extremely hard all year last year from start to (almost) finish, in all extreme conditions, it was glaringly good.
That said I own several VS's and use them just as much, in other applications.
If asked which one to buy, it is tough to say, I would probably say go with the VS because I am not sure about the future of Zee Baas. If I had assurance that ZB was going to be around in 2-3 or 10 years, I would feel a lot better about it. There customer service is awesome.
