... well, it's impossible to rigorously prove but the way I see it, EO lets you have two 1x2x3 really fast, easy blocks while the Petrus 2x2x3 block doesn't have the advantage of oriented edges so any awkward situation can come up. This would mean that there is lag while trying to figure out what to do and even when you figure it out, cube rotations and wide turns could be necessary.

ok, so you can turn faster in ZZ... Move count in Petrus F2L is lower than the restricted R,U,L ZZF2L if you are actually doing Petrus well. Many people simply can't do Petrus well, which is why so many people think it is slow.

anyway:


from video description:
"Honestly, I'm not very happy with this average. The 13s in the middle could have been faster and I messed up pretty badly on a few solves."

He did a 13.45 avg12 on video with Petrus and wasn't even very happy with it.

I listed ZB because that's technically what I use (well, X-VH, but that's basically the same thing). I have tried ZZ and found it too restricting of an opening for my tastes. Instead, I like to finagle my EO on the last 2 slots and leave myself with a good ZB case to work with. Recall for ZBF2L is not a big deal, it's just the stupid LL that screws me up.

I feel like Petrus is the most undervalued method out there and ZB is the most over-under-hyped, meaning people go way out of their way to say there are too many algs but that, at the same time, no one truly appreciates it. Just make up your mind people!

And full ZBLL involves the recognition of exactly 501 cases, not 493 (no solved case).
 
I'm using F2LminusOneSlot + EO + LastSlot when I start with a cross. - Why? - Because its so easy :) and I can do Petrus EO regognition only fast, if it' with my favorite colors.

I planned to increase my skills on partial EO during 3rd Slot, and prediction/preperation of LastSlot during EO, sounds simple but I didn't advance on that.
