If you had to pick one which would you choose?

That's a tough one. I have both and love them both equally! That 0300BW is a beast.
 
Depends honestly. I would prefer the 0560 given those choices, but only really because I think the 0300BW would be too wide in my pocket, and the blade is shorter for the weight you have to carry, and I like a blade closer to 3.75" or 4" lately as my primary carry, with a smaller lighter knife as a backup. And if you get a new version of the 0560, you can get a steel lockbar insert, which will matter more to some than others.
Other people will have different opinions of course, and I think that is what this ultimately is: opinion.
 
560

Does the ZT0300BW really weigh 8.1oz?

Geez, I'd rather carry the Becker BK17 at 6.4oz ...

Yeah, I'll say the 560 as well--I don't like assisted knives, and the flipper/bearings are fast and smooth. Nonetheless, I think they will both be bricks in the pocket (which is why I sold my 561)...
 
I prefer the 0560 if those are the only two options. But at the trivial price difference between the 560 and the 0562 I would go with the later.
 
I had both at one point. I miss my 560. Loved that knife. Super smooth, tough as nails, and good looking to boot haha
 
560, if you can pick one up for a decent price and don't like it, you can sell it rather quickly. If you really like it, you can customize it to your liking, you can also have the blade re ground to make it a killer slicer. Be advised, a customized production folder is more difficult to move.
