I have experience with Internet-Zahav and Netvision.
It seems to me that Internet-Zahav is not Linux-friendly at all. Netvision
does try, but I'll say that it doesn't worth much (but they do print, or used
to print, a line about the mtu and mru setting before they start ppp, and it
helped me once).
As for the connection's speed, it seems to me the same (I have an analog 33.6k
modem, and both with Internet-Zahav and with Netvision I only succeeded to get
it to work in, at most, 31.2k)
