If they're slow, shambling, rotting corpses that can't use stairs well zombies -- Then I'm going with A. for sure. For another species to have the ability to "fly" to our planet, they must have some large degree of intelligence. So I'd rather not be around for the destruction of the world by the hands of weird looking green men, thanks.
" Zombies? Are you serious people? Aliens are where it's at. Who knows what they would look like. And we might even be able to make peace with them. "
Alien Invasion. You wouldn't get to see who they were because they would of already lazered everyone in an instant. At least with Zombies you got a chance. As long as it's shambling zombies. If it's L4D zombies then I sit and cry in a corner.
Aliens: Pros:Negotiation Cons: Obliteration if negotiation fails or is impossible.
Zombies: Pros: Higher possibility of human survival(still low, and survival not really civilization) Cons: Very long probably unwinnable fight, with no possibility of negotiated settlement.

Alien Invasion.
It could very well be an alien love invasion, nowhere is it specified that they are hostile aliens. Yes, he did say disaster, but that could very well mean a 'disaster' in an awkward-romantic-comedy-scenario kind of way.

Zombies of course, at least with zombies you have chance to make it. If a hostile advanced alien race showed up to wipe us out they would wipe us all out plain and simple they also are big into the whole anal probe thing. I am sorry real life is not Independence Day are sorry a** Earth computer virus isn't going to put a dent in their anti-virus software. I don't see the zombies doing to much damage seeing how if that would happen most of the gamers and comic book readers out there would no what was up and be prepared when sh** goes down.
Aliens. Not that I think of the "Oh, we will come in peace!" part, but really? Just because they were smart enough to come to our planet, doesn't mean they would be able to destroy us. They could very well be an alien race that may have thought they could come destroy us, in yet, have no survival instincts, or even weapons. Everyone just thinks the same, as if it's common sense. But with aliens, it's never common sense unless it happens. Aliens are far more interesting anyways. I would rather have what happened in War of the Worlds where the big ass tripods comes (or have been here I guess), than what happens in 28 days later.
Ok, second thought. If you really do take it in the common sense area. I'll agree, realistically, zombies. They're dumb and they probably would be easier to kill if we were in a big enough group and had enough guns or what have you. If it was just me, and I was surrounded? Ummm, I'd like to think I'm clever enough to get creative on that, but chances are I may die depending on the circumstances. Damn! I like aliens way more, but I guess zombies -sigh-. Zombies are boring as hell, just like vampires or werewolf's.
If we're talking about WWZ/Romero shamblers, Zombies. Hell, if we're taking Morningstrain where infected can sprint while they're alive, but shamble when dead, I'd still vote zombie.
As long as world leaders don't act stupidly and react accordingly to the coming crisis, we'd stand a pretty good...err... ... ...fuck.
As much as I love me some zombies, I'm gonna have to vote for aliens. Here's why:
If there are evil aliens taking over my planet, that mean there is a good chance that there will be good aliens that I can join and fight with. Which means that, should I survive, we will live in a time when we can travel to other planets with these good aliens. Meeting other good aliens, exploring new planets and fighting for the liberation of our planet/race. Or conversely, joining with the evil aliens and living in luxury as a traitor to your people. Until you out live your usefulness in which case you end up being shot in the head, or left to be mobbed to death by the very people you turned on.
If it's aliens, you have a good chance that you will survive under certain circumstances where as with zombies it's going to ether be A) Live to middle/old age constantly malnourished always on the hunt for food and water to stay alive. Or B) be walking along one day and space out for a split second and end up being bitten by a zombie and ether needing to off yourself, or become a zombie yourself. However, if it's aliens then there is a good chance that they will ether kill you off quickly and painlessly before you know what happened, become pets, possibly sex slaves, or just old fashioned slaves. If they are advanced enough to develop space ravel then they would be smart enough to know that you need to have a certain level of care for your slaves or the little bit of work you get out of them will be worthless. The cost of finding, capturing and shipping a slave to what ever place you need would out weigh the little bit of work you would get out of them before they died. As well, the better you treat the slave the longer they will be willing to accept their fate and not try to fight back. It's worth the little extra money now, then to fix all the damages and replace all the soldiers you would need to retrain when they get killed trying to put down an uprising. So while it wont be perfect, you will probably get to live a slaved life that at least included three meals a day, a warm bed, and all the exercise you could ask for.
" @Psykhophear: I can't vote till my question gets answered. : / "
I don't think I can comment on that. Look at it this way, would you rather have zombies eating your flesh while you're still breathing or have aliens incinerate you in a flash with a laser gun (Or in an anal probe experiment or something like that :P)?
If movies have taught me anything, it's that a zombie apocalypse is the end of the world, but that an alien invasion is easily fought off by humanity. Therefore, I go with an alien invasion.
Aliens! If they wipe us out they would probably destroy us all quick and painlessly. I don't want to live in fear of zombies outside waiting to eat me.

I know right, they're probably using Microsoft Security Essentials Ver. 10,000,000. Shit's most likely hack proof.
If 'aliens' came to our planet and wanted it (for some godforsaken reason) they would never present a target. We'd probably be all be dead, along with anything else they wanted dead, in just a few hours, never having known what happened.
@ElegantRuby: Dude, chill. If it makes you happy, it would be the average slow zombies. But then again, they would learn how to run from time to time so it can go both ways so what's the difference? Same goes with aliens. Doesn't matter if they're big, fat, slim, microscopic. Either way, we're all screwed.
Does that answer your question? :) The choice is yours, my friend.
