What unit do you use mosts, i assume you all use both, but which one do you like best!

I personnaly like Zombies more then Skellies, because their cheap and they can hold up the other unit easily! Skellies can do that too, but they cost more!
And Invication of nehek summons more zombies!

well zombies for me too. they are cheap, easy to raise and much more fun to paint that skellies. also undead troops usually are there for ranks and outnumbering and zombies does that for a lot cheaper then skellies :)

I use skellies a lot more, but thats only because Ive got over 100 skeletons and only 15 zombies... :(

Concerning effectivity in regard to their cost, I cant really say which I prefer. The advantages the skellies have are worth their points, on the other hand having a unit of 30 models with 5 CR minimum which causes fear for less than 200 points is really appealing... .

In Von Carstein armies, which I play most, I tend to take one zombie unit (using proxies to fill it up) and two skelly units, and put my Count in the zombies to make up for their poor fighting abilities, while a block of skeletons goes on either side of it.

i do not collect VC but i do like zombies as they are dead cheap and cause fear ^_^

plus they give you lots of modeling opportunities to make zombies of different race, such as dwarf zombies or empire zombies (models wise) plus they have their own army list now (zombies) where is the skeletens, tomb kings dont count :lol:
