My experience has been that there's not much difference between the current model 38, zeb, and rxf38.
Slower speed comfort it's zeb, 38, then rxf.
For pushing the pace, it's the opposite, as one would expect.
It's shades of gray though. My old avalanche hybrid zeb still kicks all their asses noticeably. Particularly in rough, fast, off camber corners.
It's worth noting that grip 2 fox 38's had some wildly differing damping curves due to manufacturing tolerances, and many were completely unsuitable for lighter riders. My wife couldn't use one at all at 115 pounds riding weight.
