Both builds are equally viable as stated. Both will have stumbling blocks when meeting immunes, but should fair okay with their backup damage source. My frost zealot(HC ladder) has 16%(unmodified) leach in hell, and that is plenty with a might merc and lightsabre to keep him alive. I do have to use pots in bad situations sometimes though.
As for an easy time, I don't think it's possible for a melee pally without *very* good equipment to have a "easy time" of hell. It is certainly playable though.
Frost zealot is slightly easier to equip though; your main source of damage will be the holy freeze. The main problem is AR for a frost or shock zealot.
