wagon vs ZX5

The trunk space is at least 50 percent larger in the wagon. That should be obvious, but If that's also an appreciable difference is entirely up to yourself. /per

The wagon (unless it's a ZTW, not available in 2001) doesn't have a tachometer nor fog-lights. I really wish I had those on my 2001 wagon.

Other than the obvious difference in headroom and cargo capacity, there's the surprising but minor fact that the wagon's shape has the lowest coefficient of drag of the 3 Focus body types. Total drag's probably about the same, though. No doubt, the wagon's one of the best small wagons. Do you really need one? Will you be gadding about, living the uprooted lifestyle, carrying your worldly wealth on your back?

We also found that the ZX5 tends toward the expensive in the used market, but this would obviously vary by region.

Have you considered the ZX3?

I have a 2000 ZX3 and the cargo area is fine with me, but I consider it too small if I had a family. I guess it all depends on how large and how much stuff you have to carry around. John

In that case I heartily recommend the wagon. Unless you have a very large dog, there is enough room in the rear of the wagon for the pooch with the back seat up, which avoids wet noses in your ear while driving. Spoken from experience.
