Camera Calibration - Zhang vs. Gold Standard

What are the dis/advantages of using the Gold Standard algorithm described in Multiple View Geometry (Hartley and Zisserman), with respect to using the other popular algorithm described by Zhang in A Flexible New technique for Camera Calibration? I understand the main difference between the two algorithms, but I don't know which one is better and why?

The Gold Standard Algorithm (or DLT) requires a non-coplanar target, most likely composed of orthogonal planes.

Zhang requires multiple views of a planar target. That's easier to create physically (might just be a printed checkerboard mounted on a planar surface).
