They do different things. ZZ writes the file if and only if it has
been modified, as does :x. :wq always writes the file.

I prefer ZZ, as it's easy to type with one hand on a UK keyboard. :wq
requires many more keystrokes: five keys instead of two, and three
transfers from one hand to the other. (Also, I found :wq a bad habit
to get into when working on large projects with "make", as files that
are written unnecessarily increase the build time.)
