If you use a good ZTR, you'll throw rocks at the other types. The ZTR will turn in its tracks, enabling you to cut around trees and bushes in one pass. The ZTR is very fast. I don't remember the mph figures, but they will go several mph. They turn the blades up fast enough to cut grass at high speeds.
Disadvantages: They make a lot of noise. Ear protection is needed. They throw a lot of dust and debris in the air, but I'm not sure they are any worse than other types about that. As you said, the good models are pricey, but a home user probably never will have to buy but one.
If you have a small lawn, you don't need a ZTR.
I used a 6 foot finish mower on a tractor, and the ZTR will cut rings around it due to its speed and manuverability. Plus, I don't have to hook up the 3ph.
