I have the basic one that stands up I have a large one and a smaller one. They work just finr. The one thing I have a problem with is fining a decent zester. They all seem to zest too small and take way to much time plus wasing 1/2 of what I am trying to zest or they don't make it small enough. Sometimes I just use my grater for zesting as well.

For zesting I use a microplaner. Best little tool for that ever.
The problem with that standard grater is that I really have no use of most of its features. I just need one that can grate vegetables (cucumbers, carrots,...) into small enough for things like stuffing. So I think without the need of multi-functions the grater could have more convenient shape and more space-saving (convenient for use, cleaning and storage).
The only thing I ever grate is carrots (for cole slaw) and I do it with a potato peeler. It takes a few minutes longer, but I've got nowhere to go. I just cut the cabbage and apples up with a knife.

I'd still say that the standard box grater is going to be the best fit, both for the type of grating you're wanting to do and because the stand-up grater is just easiest to use. It's stable, enables you to grate at a comfortable angle, and contains your product within itself while you grate.
If you're more concerned about storage convenience, there are lots of flat graters that have only the holes for course grating (the one side of the box grater that you would actually use). It would be easier to store, but it's a little more awkward to use (by a small margin). Something like this might be what you're after: Amazon.com: Rosle Medium Grater: Home & Kitchen

That side of the box grater is shred. It's not grate or slice. I use the box grater for shred and the microplane for things like lemon zest and nutmeg.
