Looking for something quiet and something that cools well...
Which Cooler[?]

What card is this cooler for? If it's for the 4870 you have in your sig, I would steer clear of those two. In my experience Zerotherm products are rather noisy, and that old Zalman sometimes struggles with my 8800GT, I wouldn't entrust it with a 4870.
If it's for the 4870, I'd recommend the ubiquitous Accelero S1 with a 120mm fan stuck on it, or if you have the room, Thermalright's Hr-03 plus w/ 92 mm fan is a very good performer, just beware of the cost.

I've read a review of the Powercolor 4850 PCS, which has that Zerotherm factory installed and the reviewer said it was pretty quiet: 21 dbA under load.

However, if I already had a 4870, I'd use an Accelero S1 with a 120mm fan too.
