What is your opinion of the various goose calls out there. Which one do you consider the best for those big honkin Canadians?

If there are snows and blues in the area, I would consider taking along a cheap plastic snow call if the Canada's aren't responding to their call.

What is your opinion of the Zinc calls? They seem expensive but are they any good?

Yes and no, now this is important, each person blows a call differently. So one call will not work for everyone. You just have to get some and try them out to see what fits your calling style.
Some like wood, some acrylic, some old plastic. Some calls, some flutes, some ... well you get the picture
I hope this was of some help
