WWZ has a great view into how different people and different cultures could potentially react to a global epidemic. It also had great characters and some really cool "what if" scenarios.
The Walking Dead has good characters (although they drive me crazy sometimes), but it's mainly a survival story that looks into how you would react and behave if most of modern civilization had gone out the window.
And the gore can be fun, too.
But it's definitely not why I watch/read zombie stories.
