I prefer to use the SEN (or C) lounge in D. All three times I used it in the past few weeks, it was reasonably empty (late morning/lunch time). Despite having to go through passport control, it is not more than 5 min walk to the beginning of the A gates. Last week, I had almost 2h to kill in ZRH and considered going to the SEN lounge in E, but at ~11 a.m., the queue in front of the passport control before the train to the E terminal was more than 50m long and started somewhere upstairs in the middle of the Airside Center. So not an alternative.
