ZigBee vs Zwave (self.homeassistant)

Hey lemmings, trying to figure out which of the two integrations to choose. By what I've read, I prefer ZigBee but those devices are hard to find here. Can people who have experience with either of these integrations give me a pro/con overview in relation to home assistant.

There will be many different takes on this subject, but IMO the most important concern is device availability.

I use Zigbee because then I can install Hue, Aqara, IKEA devices ++

If Zigbee devices are hard to get where you are, definitely go for ZWave.
