Hi all, I'm not (really) experienced enough to answer this one either (although I love the question), but I'm taking the opportunity to remind you to check the license of each one. I know that the Zend license has "improved", but it was previously an unclear license. This being said, I have been impressed with the latest efforts of Zend to improve communication (a lot of good quality technical articles published).
As far as I'm concerned it is much better for a team with limited resources to rely on a reknown solution. As far as these are also open solutions, we can still patch them if we find a bug and they don't solve it fast enough. Furthermore, we increase the likeliness of having developers with Zend/Symfony experience getting into our project, which couldn't be bad. Finally, however, I don't really think it would help at this time to include new dependencies unless it can be done smoothly without reducing the stability of the platform as a whole...
