Comment(by hakre):

 +1 for GMT/UTC. GMT = UTC. the +/- thingy is for naming other timezones.
 +/-0 makes no sense then if you want to name GMT/UTC directly.

 Personally I tend to say, GMT is more well known in the non-technical
 world, and UTC for the internet folks. Zulu for those who use it day by
 day while talking to each other: nautics, aviation and millitary.

 Anyway, all three name the same, while GMT is then more British and UTC
 the international (pseudo) abbrevation. Zulu is more for speaking and less
 for writing/written language IMHO.

 Which places are to patch?
