> and also disagree Monero is a better alternative
It's empirically better.
Monero uses zero-knowledge proofs for the range proof, cryptographically protects the sender, receiver and notional.
Monero uses known, audited cryptographic primitives, elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman over curve25519, EdDSA signature over the twisted Edwards variant of the same curve, libsodium.
Monero is much less likely to have a production exploit than zcash.
Are you saying if you needed to send money privately you'd actually choose Zcash over Monero?
