What are you referring to? I didn't stop using petzl for any other reason than I like the others better.

If it is true that generation two of the zz, which you apparently use, is once again inadequite...im no longer supporting petzyl by purchasing their products. Dmm is my new fav anyhow.
 
DMM ultra O's
Petzl steel Oxans
Petzl aluminum tri-act D's
Not much experience with ISC but with my limited experience with them they are awesome.
 
I am a huge Rock Exotica fan, I love the Rock O's. The downward action just seems more natural to me, and a lot easier if I am really trying to reach around something. As for shapes, I just like O's way more than just about anything else, I just like that when it is loaded properly it is nice and streamline, and they work great for pulleys (Hitchclimber, Rook, Etc)
 
I like DMM and ISC that have the same triple action for opening. Mostly because they are the most available products in my area. DMM Ovals seem to load well and keep orientation with my tight eye splices and rubber bands.
 
Rock exotica for most of it. I do like Dmm but like to support American made. Ovals and hms are my most common. Not too many Ds floating around. I have a few CTs but prefer the downward pulling motion.
 
DMM Ultra O's all the way as well. So many cool colours to chose too! I do have some OK's and they are ok as well. Been checking out the rock exotica, but not used to the action. Use Williams for larger carabiner, but if I didn't already have them would try the DMM Klettersteig or rhino. Mainly just use O's and a variety of snaps.
 
If it can open a beer its perfect>
I heard an old story that someone dropped a carabiner at an ITCC Masters event and got DQed. He then took the carabiner, had it melted down and turned into a bottle opener. Anyone have any idea if that is a true story?
 
I'll put a vote in for the Rock Exotica carabiners. Love the downward pull action, nice and intuitive. USA all the way. High quality and they've got a nice look to them. The Orca feature is sweet too. Expert use only. (:
