A wraith is scarier. A zombie is too slow to be much of a concern by itself.

[rfachini]

A wraith, by far. It is faster, sneaker, can phase in and out, is hard to hit due to incorporeality, can drain abilities, can cause you to become a wraith if it kills you, and just looks and is more badass in general.

[Bluebird6757]

A wraith. You can outrun the zombie, plus wraiths can be very hard to hit without ghost-touch weapons.

[laesgirith]

wraith by far. you can outrun, lock out, or lockup zombies quite easily, or even dismember them, can't really do that to a wraith given that it's incorporeal...

[Ullikummis]

A wraith. I am constantly mistaking them for reapers.

Depends on whether I forgot to bring the ghost touch weapon, or if I forgot to bring the slashing weapon.

[1cebeast]

Wraiths look too much like reapers. make me poo a little, each time I see one!

[Retired_Old_Gamer]

same as everyone else.......

[esotericist]

If we had some fast zombie types that were still legitimately zombies, there might be contention, but since everything gets parceled out with its own name (ghoul, wight, etc), then there really isn't any competition. Wraiths win out.

[Fnordian]

A wraith is scarier in DDO because it can drain levels and its phasing makes it hard to hit if you don't have the appropriate weapons handy. However in real life, I think a zombie would be even scarier, especially if it lurches towards you, bits falling off it, and wailing "Brainzzzzzzzzz".

[Arkat]

A zombie...because it starts with the letter "z."

(I have nightmares so z's have always been scary)

[LucasMacKinnon]

Wraith for a few reasons. They neg level, they are incorporeal and can move through walls or doors making it harder to escape. You must have special weapons to fight them effectively.

[xberto]

Zombies. The Walking Dead!

[Ebondevil]

Wraiths, got to be wraiths... :'(

[CThruTheEgo]

A wraith. No contest.

[Brandwynn]

A wraith. Even a mob of zombies can be handled and strung out to take apart. Wraiths on the other hand just mob you and even trying to get them broken up can be a pain. Add in their Phasing in and out and hard to hit. Yeah, you, really want to make sure you can hand out the DPS and with the right weapon. A good cleric/FS with turning is better still.

[nordlav]

Wraith, their so flighty!

[ForgettableNPC]

Wraith. Because to hit a Wraith effectively you need a Ghost Touch weapon.
And who has those anymore!?
