Both of the scopes you mention are very good, the important thing is condition. A well looked after scope will last a lifetime, whereas one used in sea air and bashed about will be in trouble very quickly.
As well as the Zeiss and Swaro, don't forget Leica's Televid APO. Every bit as good as the others and hold their price very well. Built like a tank!

I've had the Zeiss 65 for getting on 10 years. Nice scope, zoom good to about 35x and usable to 45x in good light. I like it best with the 23x WA lens which is sharp edge to edge. I've always preferred the Zeiss 'warmer' colour to the bluer cast of the others (to the extent that I've now got the Diascope 85mm), but that's a real personal preference. If you have the opportunity look through some to see which your eyes prefer.
