As to the release angles, I've always been curious about this. I've ridden X series since I started cycling -- they were just a choice at the time off the shelf availability at the bike store about 15 yrs ago. I find them fine; at the same time, thinking that if there is less "float" set, then that might mean I'd always accidentally keep releasing my foot from the pedal when I didn't intend to, only because I turned my foot just a little bit too far inadvertently. Is this the case?
Over the years Keep on Kovers existed...I probably lost one right (dominant foot) Kover per season or two...which adds up given that some injection molded rubber/plastic costs as much as it does. Once I found one had dislodged during a clip-out on my commute route at a city crosswalk on the MUP...fortunately being a bizarre thing to look at that basically no one has a use for NVM even know what it is--it stayed there for a day before I found it.
The X and Zero cleats are quite different internally. Whereas X uses a wire-spring ring-clamp...the X is a thin plate of metal IIRC. Result is the Zeros have a more positive action. There are two adjustable float stop set-screws (think toe-in/toe-out). You can set there to be float or not, and how much and where it centers on--or none at all at any off-angle or center you want. If I remember right the Zeros have a bit less max float than the X, but not much.
