Readers of this list probably know me more than they would like. But I have been a rabid proponent of Zookeeper ever since I saw Ben give his first public talk on the subject. I still remember that during that talk I kept thinking to myself that the ZK approach was hitting a fabulous balance of simplicity and power. Since that talk, I haven't looked back and have included Zookeeper in a number of projects of my own and pushed others (sometimes even successfully) to use it as well.
The only beef I have about Zookeeper is that it is very hard to find ways to contribute. The issues of usability and correctness are subtle and many possible additions are actually subtractions. In addition, the Zookeeper community has done a brilliant job of identifying a tremendously powerful abstraction that meets a critical need without allowing mission creep to settle in. That is an incredibly hard and rare thing to do.
