I’m building new - 3095 sqft living area. My builder asked if I wanted (1) 5 ton zoned unit or (2) separate 3 ton units. Cost is the same. I know as much about HVAC as I do women. I can easily turn them on. That’s it.

oh look...what is that?
The absolute best zoned single system will be a variable speed unit. As elliscountyhog said. The best comfort level is achieved with variable speed systems. Pricey, but in the not to distant future I think that is the only way they will be made.
