Check out 'The Screen Comparison':
http://emberson.net/screens/index.html

Myself, I have a ZG DB and a Triumph Tall (that's on a somewhat extended
try-it-before-you-buy-it program--Hi STeve, I haven't forgotten you).

I like the ZGDB a little bit more than stock, but don't find it that
much different.  Some people like the way it changes the airflow, but I
don't notice that much difference.  At 80mph+ indicated, I'm still going
to get buffeted and have my helmet smashed into my forehead.

While I haven't tried the ZG ST screen, I'm pretty tall (6'4") and find
that only the triumph tall screen actually makes enough of a difference
for me to notice.  I prefer it for any significant length of cruising,
as it reduces fatigue for me.  It's also the only screen I can tuck
behind completely (especially with the tankbag on).  How much I'll like
it when the temps warm up and I start baking with no airflow, we'll see.

Laters,
Brian
