Neither would wait until improved versions imo. but its always up to the individual what they prefer
ZF (I own both ZF and XF v2). ZF is better everything, hand stack not very noticeable at wrist distance. But the ideal combo (which I will be doing) is put XF hands in the ZF
Is the case itself on the ZF thinner than the XF v2? I own the v2 and I dropped a gen movement into it, but there's a big gap between the case back and movement.
I don’t know if the ZF will help either in this case. Both ZF and XF are thicker than gen dimensions listed on AP website
You can build genuine part frankens if you desire to not have the typical run of the mill replica.

Where on earth did you find a gen movement for sale??
They pop up on various auction sites every now and then, even chrono24. Just make sure you get 2121, not 2120. 2120 is without a calendar but it's good to buy for parts. k1121 is another option which is the vacheron equivalent.
Because ap2121 and VC 1121 movement is basically the same. All base on JLC 920To what end? Why would you replace the stock rep movement with a vacheron movement that is vastly more expensive, vastly less serviceable and still not the gen movement?
Why are you not consider XF V3. Already out on TD and same price as ZF
