Zoom brakes are pretty bad, but I've worked on worse. Scary part is a lot of the worse ones I've worked with were on really cheap Amazon eBikes. I'm surprised there aren't more crashes involving cheap Amazon eBikes.
Tektro Aries were the cheapest disc brakes I've found to work reasonably well, pretty heavy calipers though.
I'm not aware of any Italian cable-actuated disc brakes, but maybe some are out there.
