As u can see big differance between them the german was a larger copy and far more powerful, but the germans slow to bring the numbers into action even after they had made them.
many sat in stores and were never used mainly because of the panzerfaust was in large numbers towards(8,000,000) the end of the war.

as tigercub suggests the panzershreak could be used as an anti personell weapon as well but information on it being used as such is rather sketchy...where as the panzerfaust WAS used alot as an anti personell weapon..ie against buildings and the bazooka as well....both the zook and faust have lots of 1st hand accounts as being used in that manner.
for game purposes tho we would rather have the faust and shreak shoot at tanks as the default....you can see why. the zook if the data is correct and historically accurate...wasnt much good against german armour.....it just wasnt powerful enough to penatrate.
if we get the zook to shoot at buildings and people it will waste its rds on what ever presents itself unless micro managed, but IMHO this isnt as much of an issue for game purposes because the allies have lots of tanks and a/t guns. the germans dont.

The bazooka works well in LSA if it is placed in a building shooting down on the armour, which makes sense with top armour being thin. The US, if I am not mistaken, did not up-grade until the Korean War.
