Wouldn't it make more sense to use Monero instead of ZCash?

Privacy is compulsory with Monero and also the entire platform is decentralised.

The privacy features in Zcash are optional & very slow / difficult to use -- most users will simply make non-private transactions. Also Zcash requires trust of the founders (Any "private" coin that requires trust of a third party is a fail in my mind).
