There is a reason why most top sealant manufacturers target Zaino as the benchmark and that is because the sealant line is top quality. I don't think it is fair to compare its performance to others if you have never used it, and if you are turned off by the zeolatry (I don't blame you) that is fine, but don't let emotions interfare with logical judgement.
IME, Zaino is the longest lasting sealant out there and all of the sealant line (Z2,Z5,Z6,Z7,Z8) is top notch. The look it produces is extremely shiney/glossy and unique and may not be for everybody. My main draw back with Zaino is that it doesn't like to be topped with carnauba and that it may not be the best choice for certain colors or situations (personal opinion and judgement dependent).

FWIW, I agree entirely. I don't use Zaino much, because I tend to lean more toward waxes (just personal preference); but of the sealants I've used (most of them), zaino performs very well and very consistently. I always get good durability out of it, it looks excellent, and is extremely easy to use.
I think a lot of the zealotry has to do with the way the product was originally marketed (which I think was pretty clever); but that doesn't change the fact that it is a good product.
When/if I use a sealant on a car it's almost always Werkstatt Acrylic Jett or Zaino Z5pro.
