Zirconia is ceramic.All of them are pretty much the same.
Zirconia is the strongest material for crowns
Zirconia is designed for strength and usually used in the back of the mouth. Ceramic crowns have more esthetic qualities and look better in the front of the mouth.

Ceramic or emax have better aesthetics, zircona has more strength. There is also a combination of layered zirconia...best of both worlds.
