I like the slow zombies, but there's really no saying which is better. It's all in my taste of horror. I personally like the "lurking in the darkness, slowly closing in on you in its relentless, unstoppable pursuit" type of scare. It's more atmospheric and definitely builds the suspense. I mean, look at the original Night of the Living Dead. The corpses just lurk outside of the house ... patient ... waiting ... not in any hurry. They know where the food is, and they'll get it sooner or later. The fast zombies are more for people who like the quick thrill, the "jump out of your seat" fright. Which is a whole different kind of horror, which I like ... just don't prefer.
