The OPi Zero boards have generally provided a pretty small package with wifi and real Ethernet, unlike the RPi's USB garbage port. They really need to fix that and make a real port...maybe add a SATA port. I'd happily pay $20 more for that.
Orange Pi stuff and Raspberry Pi stuff are kind of in two different classes. I've used OPi stuff for deployments where a decently powerful board was needed but space was a factor. RPi is the well supported SBC, OPi, Odroid, Pine...those all have their own use cases.
