One is opensuse updater, which is a lightweight update program which ONLY looks for security updates. The other is zen-updater, which is the heavyweight check for all possible updates in all your configured repositories updater. They serve different purposes. Some folks only want to be notified when there is a security update (and will check and update other packages manually), while some want to keep their system completely up to date (i.e. bleeding edge). There is another program included to only start one OR the other, run-updater. It is controlled by a sysconfig variable. As with many things, you get full control and get to choose which you prefer. HTH.
