RE: arrow rests
It depends a bit on what bow you have. Some (most) fall away rests that attach to the cable guard (like the MZE) do not work well with real short ATA bows or those with short draw lengths; There just isn't enough cable guard movement to operate them effectively. For those bows, I would go with a fall away rest that either attaches to the cables themselves or that doesn't attach to anything. I plan to put a Trophy Taker Shakey hunter on my Blackhawk after this season.

hornbow,
My 31" ATA Justice with a 26.75" DL has a MZE and it works as flawlessly as the one on my 37" ATA Icon. I don't think that ATA or DL is a problem if the MZE is installed by someone who knows what he is doing.

The MZE is my recommendation for a hunting rig. It seems to be easier to tune. After installing the MZE, it took the shop about 10 minutes to tune for bullet holes at 6' AND confirm the tune for 10' and 15'. However, this is a shop that installs a LOT of MZE's and is committed to and enthusiastic about the MZE. Not every bow shop can do it.
I switched from the WB to the MZE and have been very satisfied. I won't go back to the WB.
Good Luck,
Allen

RE: arrow rests
I've got a hoyt RazerTech and it has a short ATA and it works great.I dont think ATA has anything to do with the ZE function properly.My brace height is 8 inches too.The rest is really adjustable to fit most bows.Also for bows that have a lower cable guard you need to purchase a bracket adapter,no biggy.I installed mine in about a half an hour and on my buds Mathews FX About ten min.

RE: arrow rests
I can't vouche for the WB since I've never shot one. But I don't like the idea of all of the fletching contact with it. I have a MZE on my 31.5" ATA Outback and it performs flawlessly.
