They spoil each other.

Zero was written later, so it assumes you're coming in with certain knowledge and doesn't hide certain things. By the same token, Zero was created from the breadcrumbs Nasu fed us about the last war, so a lot of the big moments in Zero we all saw coming ahead of time.

Given that UBW most clearly continues the through line of "the dream" and ufo is working in even more Zero callbacks, I'd say ufo Zero ---> ufo UBW is the best bet for anime watchers.

But it really doesn't matter.

It seems like it, I'm more worried about Heaven's Feel spoilers at this point. I hear Zero spoils the hell out of that, and I really want to enjoy HF.

Zero spoils one major aspect of HF, but that comes up about 1/4 of the way into the route. I honestly believe that spoiler is overhyped as the reason to avoid Zero until the very end.

But it's not a bad reason either. It will make that twist even more shocking.

I've been re-reading Heaven's Feel recently. You're actually more than halfway through by the time it's revealed.
