Plus points of the Spiderjack is you can replace the clutch and it has a little lock meaning you can advance the rope without the weight below you pulling through. Plus points of the zigzag is you can combine it with the Chicane and use it SRT. 

 

Price is similar enough. 

I had a Spiderjack 3 and A zigzag both stolen and replaced the Spiderjack. 

 

Where are you based?

Unfortunately not, would be a case of buying one or the other and hoping i like it
I've only briefly used a Spiderjack, had a couple of hours on a zz.

I definitely wouldn't rush to the Spiderjack if you can't try one first, they are definitely love or hate (I didn't love it). Using the zz was ok but didn't persuade me to give up the hitchclimber.

I'd wait, the chance to try them will come along.

Just a Blake’s hutch so thinking the zigzag may be easier to get used too

If you're on a Blake's hitch now, I'd get a hitch climber first and wait till you've got the chance to try them both. 

180 quid is a lot to spend to realise you bought the wrong one. If it was me, I'd go for a Rec climb with someone who will let you try them. Whichever you choose, having some time on a hitch climber and a VT before hand will help you loads
