Everyone in our group has tried both sides of the fence. Myself and a friend will play more Zs than heros, it's just personal preference
I prefer being the zombies as I like taking on a few of my friends at one time, but it is also nice to be a hero and rally the troops for a win ( well most of the time anyways )
I always play as the zombie player, and not always by choice, I don't think I've played as the heroes with a big group....ever
as many have said the owner of the game is usually pushed into the zombie position. me being the owner i play as the zombie 95% of the time. i hated it at first but i would have it no other way now. being the zombie player takes more strategy and if you have unsportly friends like i do, your gunna make alot of people mad, which is very fun for me.
I always make the husband be the hero... some day i'll give the living side a try.

Do you always make those groans when you play?
I can't help it. One of my favorite things about the zombies is the sound effects I get to add, lol.
Been playing as the zombies mostly as well. I'm the one who owns the game and knows all the rules and add-ons, and as someone else said, it seems to work better for the 'GM' to be the Zombie player. I'd like to try the other side more, though.
Now, I've only played twice now, once on either side, but I think I prefer playing zombies. It's a tonne of fun to chase down and corner in heroes by placing your zombies in just the right way. =D
Zombie Master, all the way! I usually delegate the rules since I am the one who bought the game. Its fun either way. I still help my players even if it means getting a couple of my zombies killed. I do not want to be a total @ss. But I would still like to roll into a game where everyone knows exactly what to do. My team is about 90% up there.
I am completely a Zombie. I like to watch the strategies at hand and shake them up a bit. Nothing is more exciting than making those heroes scramble over something as silly as a Trip card or a Locked Door. I am a little devious, and can be the rule nazi.
Maybe your theory is on to something.
