Those are both links to the same keyboard ;)
Either is fine, perhaps a slight edge to the QFR as that line of keyboards has been around a bit longer than the Ducky Zero (I didn't even know a TKL version of the Zero was available).
OTOH the legends on QFR keycaps are not to everyone's taste - Ducky tends to be a bit more conservative.
But then you might end up replacing the keycaps anyway :p

The two keyboards use different switches (red vs brown) what kind of switch do you prefer (tactile vs linear)?

I have a QFR, and the lightness really does bother me. I can't speak on the ducky zero, but it terms of build quality, if my ducky 9008g2 pro is like the major leagues, then i don't think the QFR would really even be in the minors. It's probably high school level, lol. But again, that's not the zero line. If the zero is anywhere close to the quality of my ducky, then it's an easy choice.
Also, font.
Also, the ducky zero comes with a neat sticker.

I recently had to disassemble a CMQFR; I added shelf liner to dampen the annoying pinging sound. The build quality is fair.
If I were to get another keyboard, I would try a Ducky; I say try because I've never owned/tired one. But I wouldn't buy
another CMQFR.
I just got a Corsair vengeance K65/MX Red, the only switch available on the K65, and I prefer it to the CMQFR I had. Also,
the K65 has an exposed architecture, very nice. Keyboards and key switches are dictated by personal-preference; and the
only way to know determine a personal preference is make a purchase and see how it goes.

Yes my Leo is still my daily! The Leo is the perfect board. The Ducky is fun, love the ISO layout, the leds are fun, the reds are so light and snappy. Just a cool board for gaming and keysets!
