I'm referring to the map formats. What makes one unique from the other?

There is nothing you can use in one and can't in the other; to make things more practical, however, Zandronum-specific actors (and possibly ACS configuration? not sure) are grouped into that configuration by DoomBuilder.

If you make a Hexen-format map with the ZDoom configuration, you can still place Zandronum things in it, you'll just have to do it by their DoomEdNum instead of picking them from the list. The same applies to any Hexen format configuration. You can also use Zandronum-specific ACS functions provided the compiler recognizes them.
