-Zonal marking is the best beacause your team will defend as a "collective" relying more on the offside trap to compensate possible formation flaws ( like a player not marked , pacy players that cannot be man marked. ect... ), you can play any formation with this.

Regarding what The Savage says there is no sure advantage if you use low press/zonal vs hard press , you can stay deep -low press and defend but that doesn't mean you will win , if oppo manage to close you on your half and didn't let you build up from the back you are going to lose. All depends on tactics.
No no... if it hasn't been touched or modifyed, there was a attack bonus in the hard press option, in exchange of condition, and a defense bonus, in MtM too in exchange of condition.... and both options activated are "always a advantadge in some sense"...

If Im right there isn't a calibration in where to play Zonal gives an specific advantadge... this does not exist, it is only something that affect visualy, but the advantadge "if I'm right and nothing has changed" is activating the MtM and, too the high press.
