   Both use the same set of libraries to do the actual job. The difference   
   is how they present it to you. So just choose the one with which you are   
   more comfortable, the one that helps you better to get the work done   
   better or easier.   
      
   For instance, the equivalent to "zypper up" is to display in yast the   
   view by repository, and on each repository right click and then all in   
   this list, update if newer. Which is many clicks, but you see what it is   
   going to do and adjust if wanted.
