I have other things to do in the limited hours of a day. Several 2-3 hour rides per week? Otherwise, I like some of the Z plans, and I love several of the individual workout rides.
Next year if I continue with Zwift, TR or something else... I'll stick with an 8 wk plan. I already have events coming up in March and I prefer to be outside.
