Just my experience, but the barracuda list performs pretty well here (we have just enough volume to be a paying subscriber to zen). I wouldn't call it more aggressive than zen necessarily. They both have an occasional FP, maybe slightly more from barracuda, but if your scoring is good that almost never presents an issue. Some of our clients outright block using both. I haven't had to deal with any complaints due to either one in a very long time.
