Only one hint. Do not use Z SCRIPTs at all. All the ZK Documentation are not recommending that option

I would suggest that using <zscript> sparingly is fine.  We use it to control UI-related things (e.g. hiding/showing screen elements, etc.).  Obviously, you wouldn't want to do any heavy processing (like database calls).

In addition to the obvious usage of the <grid> for data display, we also use it for layout purposes.  By using a grid without borders (so it basically appears invisible), you can ensure that multiple, disparate screen elements line up in a pleasing fashion.

Regards,

Todd
