An unemployed Jester, is nobody's Fool.
the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

If it's got a variable power scope I zero at 100.
For red dots and irons I still use the 50yd / RIBZ.

For a red dot work rifle I zero at 50, but confirm the windage at distance when I check drop.
For a scoped rifle that I'll dial for I do 100.
For weird applications like 3 Gun it'll vary sometimes match to match.

My MK 12 zero scope dead on at 100 yards due to scope turrets on Leupold TS 30 dope.
Iron sights 50/200 zero for urban.
The normal 25/300 is good for longer ranges.

My 20" SPR is zeroed at 100 yards. The scope is a Burris XTR II 2-10x42 and I use the out to 500 yards, the longest distance that I have access to.

100 yards for all scoped rifles, and 50 yards for iron sights, red dots. The more I think I know about shooting the less I understand.

I use 100 yards.Don't have any with knobs on them.
Even iron sights 100 yards,any correction gets done in my head,just like windage.

I zero the optic @ 100yds but typically carry on an adjusted 200yds zero.
If I am shooting at 400yds I would dial to a 400yd zero.

I use 100 yrs. But that's a generic distance, and a baseline.
You say you will mostly be range shooting, and at 200?
Why would you do anything other than zero for 200?

Blackout on subs is 50 yards, 100 for supers.
HD rig is 25 yards.
All others 100, and I verify drop/windage and spin to win in the field.

all my AR rifles now have either dots or scopes. I zero at 100 yards with the scope. 50 yards for the red dots.
Might not be 'right', but it works for me.

There are some nice target graphics here showing relative points of impact with different zero distances in AR with 10.5, 14.5, 16, 18 inch barrels. Also AK47. http://www.arma-dynamics.com/zero-considerations.html

That's a good one. I use a 50 yard zero because it's convenient for zero confirmation and I can hold high thoracic and get hits far further than I can accurately discriminate targets without magnification. So if I can tell "that's the guy to shoot" I can just hold at the nipple line and get a hit.
