Which is the bigger threat?

Neither of those is really a huge threat to Zilla, but I'd go for the Exterminator. You should be maintaining good enough Cover with a Malanthrope/Venomthrope that the AP on the Vanquisher is less of a problem than the volume of fire from the Exterminator.

The Punisher (especially with Pask) is more of a threat than either, tho.

With all the reliance on cover, it does a number on most of our units. To be fair though, I don't see it much since the Wyvern dropped. They do typically can put out more wounds.

Eradicator is scary to our little bugs (especially Rippers), but since the OP specified Zilla, I left it out.

If you're stuck without Cover, the Executioner can also be really bad news, but if you can maintain Shrouded+any Cover at all, it usually won't do any better than an Exterminator.

Was it really necessary to start all the names with "e"?
