The zoom is okay for a quick & dirty recording, but doesn't leave a lot of flexibility for things like overdubs and tracking additional instruments.
I used to use one for quickie recordings of an idea when I didn't want to go to the computer and setup a couple of mics. Now I have a little 4 track app on my iPhone and use that instead. I've even used a zoom as a backup to a live recording rig (I do location recording) - but that was more out of curiosity than actually expecting to give that recording to a paying client. It was mediocre, but my recording rig is very high-end...so that isn't a fair comparison.
I would rethink the zoom option unless you only want to make a live stereo recording of yourself with no overdubs or additional tracks.
