When to use NDO, when to use ZBrush?

I've been using lot's of NDO lately, mostly for rock and cliff textures. However, i've been reading a lot about using zBrush for textures. I started working on some cliff textures with zBrush and they look great so far, but i feel that i could achieve somewhat the same with NDO.

When do you guys decide to go with NDO or zBrush? Do you decide based on the deadline of the project? What about portfolio work, do you use tools such as NDO and DDO?

For hero asset or anything that you want to sculpt out details in a more controllable way, Zbrush.

nDo for background stuff, leaf/grass. I've also seen some hard surface stuff generated with nDo quite successfully.

What's a hero asset? Sorry for the ignorance.

hero asset, a very important prop that can be close to the camera...or not ?

Ndo can be used for anything if used correctly.
I've used it before to make knurling on grips and such.

What do you mean by correctly?
