I prefer the former.
Don't forget we are talking e-commerce here. People want easy navigation, speed, good images, security and confidence that you'll deliver the goods.
Zencart sites don't have to be works of art. Amazon isn't, or Play.com, or plenty of others.
Nothing annoys punters more than horizontal scrolling, and in my opinion, a site that needs it is a bad site.
