I voted zeus carnage. When the update came out, Tulu Fujin and RDB Griffins came out in abundance. You'll find yourself needing that counter to 500M rockets.
Then, we have dash bots scheduled for next month, with MK2 having an energy shield and bouncing around everywhere, you're going to want the big zapper.

I'm going to put a vote in for the RDB but say BOTH!.
When the update hits, your RDB and Carnage Zeus are both going to be invaluable.

RDB griffin is super fun to play and can cap beacons. The Zeus carnage is also an excellent choice. Ultimately, you'll probably want both since the meta will swing one way for a while before it goes the other way.

Where are weapons levels with rest of your hanger?? I am really having fun with rdb Griffin!!
My hangar has L11 weapons but my rdb Griffin has Tulus - L8 & L9, Pins L10. I am currently leveling the rdb to catch up with rest of hangar. I dont have a pair of Zeus to consider. I have 3 Tridents that I swap around on my Fury & Carnage. Right now I am play them with my rdb as well. The rdb is really dual purpose when fully loaded it can hit pretty hard so it can close in. Also it can continue to hit out of range of splash / plasma of other Griffins! That is how I am utilizing it!

Swapped my 7/7 RBD Griffin to Tridents Carnage and spent almost a month to upgrade to 8/10. Now consider going back to RBD or Zeus Carnage............ ?

I have a 9/9 rdb, Zeus carnage and trident fury. I voted Zeus but on second thoughts, I would pick rdb first. Zeus is way too fun and extremely annoying on open map flanks. Never had so many reds chase after me, and it's really effective if you have a good team watching out for you, like rdbs or tridents killing pesky Gareths and galahads chasing you. Griffins have to hide or die. And someone mentioned that they fixed Zeus damage bug in the test servers.
There's a sense of achievement when someone is so annoyed that they would try to sacrifice bots to come after you.
Rdb for now because I am sure you want to try out the new buff and your 7/7 rdb is way too weak for iOS expert for you to enjoy the experience. And your Zeus carnage is even further away, so might as well get rdb before Zeus.

So the choice should between RDB Griffin and Zeus Carnage, it is quite hard to choose. RBD might be better on smaller map like moon, DC and Shenzhen. Zeus Carnage might be better on Yamatao, Springfield and Canon. Decision, decisions, decision

Try everything!
But Zeus Carnage is prolly the bot that I have averaged doing the most dmg in games where I only dropped 1 bot. Not uncommon to get 400 - 500k JUST in that bot alone... and I'm talking 9/9 levels... That does not mean it will always be your best option as some games require you to ditch and go to a Knifer/Runner, or whatever. Damage is 2nd compared to Beacon bar in my book.
RDB is versatile and more useable on small maps, but I hate when 1 bot becomes over used so I tend to want to run off meta builds, personally. Which is why I liked the Tulu builds before the buff lol. Now they are so damned common it's pretty comical.
Ahh well... like I said... try it all! and try and just focus on what you like and what is the most effective for YOUR playstyle. Between the Zeus Carnage and the RDB Griff: they really are, both, good builds.
IMO, YMMV

To add on to my previous thoughts and twist your thoughts a little more! With not knowing when the dash bots will come out etc... The next build for me will be the Zeus Carnage! I have 1 L7 Zeus now, but went Trident route for the TT Fury. I believe the Zues Carnage build is effective & Pix saying they are near to fixing the bug is a real plus! The Carnage itself is fun bot and plan to have ALL the variaitions to pilot.

Why no votes for TT Fury? I thought it is still the ultimate, unrivalled midrange, which makes everybody cry, and the only one which can actually crack leveled Anciles?
And who knows what beast it will be with 3 Tempests... if Tempest firepower is 2.25 Molots (1.5 Molot Mk2, just a guess), then TTempest Fury will be 6.75, compared to mere 5 of Molot Griffin or 5.25 of Molot-Tempest Lance.
MOAR DAKKA!

The RDB is so flexible it doesn't feel like a midrange. The Zeus Carnage is a wonderful flanking bot and the 600m is nice. I round out my hanger with Stuka Griff, DB Griffin and Thunder Carnage. I haven't been this happy with my hangar in a long time.

Sorry, but I'm nowhere near ready to buy a Carnage or a Zeus or any of that gold-heavy stuff, I'm still outfitting Griffin and Leo.
Excuse my noobness, but what's a RDB?

RDB= Russian Death Button/Griffin with CRV Pin X2, and Tulumbas X2. On the Russian server they used it WAY more than the DB griffin. Hence why Russian Death Button became the name of the build.

I've been running Moody's hangar as well, except with a Trident Carn, which I'm about to switch over to a Zues Carn. My RDB isn't quite an RDB. I'm running Aphid Tulumbas on it.. I fancy it more than the RDB. I think once the dash bots come out the Zues Carnage will be the way to go for 600m. I also think Zues works great now against RDB's. Like Tricky has stated, they are both wonderful builds.

I have a couple zeus that I have been putting a lot of time into upgrading and I was starting to feel really disappointed. The Zues cannons seem to do very little damage .. and some times no damage at all. I am guessing that is the bug?
