Wifi > ZigBee for lights. Here's my experience:
Unreliable connectivity, slight delays between actions even when bypassing the cloud. Sometimes the pairing just mysteriously dies and you need to repair.
None of the above with wifi. I think ZigBee is only useful for low power devices like motion sensors.
I've used a Philips hue hub as well as ZigBee2mqtt. If anyone wants the hub I'm happy to sell it.
