I use a 3B+ to run a camera, DHT11 sensor, MQTT Server. SQLite DB. This would likely exceed the RAM for a ZERO.
I have a 2nd sensor built on a PICO that pushes readings to the MQTT Server.
In terms of using Lite vs Desktop, you need to consider how you are going to do development. For PICO and ZERO 'Lite', if you are using Python, you will be using the Remote Interpreter which does not support using the built-in debugger. This means you need to embed print() statements.I run Desktop on my 3B+ but 'Lite' on ZERO because of only 512MB being available.
Keep in mind when you are looking for examples or help, they will mostly be based on RPI OS. I would look for a compelling reason to go for another OS.
