I would probally say the executioner but as far as an all around tire the zillas will out performs the executioner.

I think it will be a hard decision, my Zillas do outstanding in the mud. I rode with a guy over the weekend that had 26" executioners on his honda foreman, and my Sportsman on 28" zillas ran circles around him in the mud. I think his foreman was having a hard time turning those heavy executioners over too. They both performed in the mud, niether loading up with mud and both pulling well. The Zillas will trail 95% better than the executioners and the zillas weigh alot less, with better all around performance.

The new Zillas would be a better mud tire then the Execs on your 420 because of their weight, you will be able to spin the lighter Zillas much better then the heavy Execs. To me its a toss up between the Bugs and Zillas, they are both great performing tires in everything. The Zillas measure a little short but they look better imo.

the Exces run much heavier but also wear better than most.

IMO Gators/bugs are great tires, better all around than most.
