I typically don't ride in the rain, but thought long and hard about the stainless Speedplays when I built up my BMC. I couldn't really find a justification for anything other than the CroMoly, but damn the 20g saving of the titanium would be nice
Between the Zeros and the X's, unless you know you like a ton of float (15 degrees is a lot), go with the Zeros. Wide open, the Zeros are like being on ice skates when you first start. Because of my knee issues, I like having the float, but over time have dialed it down to just a few degrees. The Zeros also allow you to create a more toe in (or heel) or toe out position depending on your body.
