It's one of those topics where FT is (rightfully!) split on whats the better path. Personally, if I travel light, and I know that security will be an easy thing to do, I'd pick security, otherwise double immigration. ZRH is a bit hit or miss regarding immigration, with the automatic gates not always working as they should, and otherwise staff being overwhelmed, while security from D to E (and other way round) rarely has any queue.

In a hurry, I'd DEFINITELY go with the direct transfer and let security handle me.
