Wow!  You are talking polar opposites.  I have had both so here it does......

D-Act: Tight, Tight, Tight.  Clear yet heavy distortion in the bridge.  IT is going to be really bright in an alder/floyd guitar but not in a bad way (IMHO). 

Tone Zone: Chunky.  Great vocal tone, once dialed in amazing harmonics.  For your guitar I think this is the better fit.  I actually prefer this in one of my guitars compared to my other that has Suhr Aldrich pickups. 

I don't think you can go wrong with either.  They are dramatically different though

I agree with Timius, his descriptions are pretty much dead on.
Both are awesome but very different.
