only speaking from experience on owning an ipod. Only thing i replaced was the headphones (not the best quality). fantastic little gadget, never leave home without it. also plug it into my car headunit. Haven't had the zen, but i can definately recommend the ipod. (mines the nano)

i've got a Zen and its brilliant !!! easy to use, small and you can change the battery, which you can't do on the Ipod. Its also much cheaper than the equivalent Ipod. As for connecting it to the car, you could use an FM modulator or use the aux in on the stereo and connect it using the headphone jack....

iPod for the g/f -- otherwise she will just think you were being a cheapskate...
Plus I personally prefer them. Good build quality, lots of accessories available (car kits etc). Aux in doesn't cut it when a proper ipod kit will control the ipod from the headunit.

Zen, because it beats then iPod in every department!! The fact that your gf might think you've been cheap is not a good reason to buy a crap piece of kit.
