For "proper" embeded use the Compute Module ought to be the thing
of choice, however the Zero is much cheaper (and note that there
is now a Zero "H" variant with pre-soldered header pins)
Gigabit ethernet speed will help when
being used for media boxes too I
would guess.
That's debatable - there is only one USB interface on the Pi and
running that at higher speeds for the Ethernet (it's still usb-2,
so 420Mb/sec absolute max) may well be detrimental to serving
stuff off a USB filesystem - who knows - I'm not into that thing,
but I'm sure we'll see reports from others to try it out.
I've had one for a few days, but other than make sure wiringPi
works OK on it, I've not had a chance to really give it a go:

I've been looking into GPU processing and there is an opencl
library/compiler for the GPU https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/tree/opencl
Not tried it yet but in theory it makes the pi zero possibly the
cheapest bang per buck in the non-FPGA stakes.
