I don't think it'll be much help to say they both look like viable 
candidates from my perspective. :)  I've used Zinc and liked it; today I 
downloaded WebClient/WebServer just to take a closer look and endded up 
getting WebClient>>httpGet: working.  I uploaded the package if anyone 
wants to take a look:

One thing that I would like to see is the ability to download Cuis 
updates and packages from within the image.  Since github only allows 
https connections, I packaged Cuis-SecureSocket (SqueakSSL port) to 
experiment.
