Is the Zalman 7000A-CU or 7000A-AlCu better? They each have different amounts of thermal something.

I'd go for the pure copper one.

Ok, the only thing I noticed between them different beside the thermal (resistance?) is its weigth.

If weight is the ONLY difference, and all other things being equal, I'd go for the lowest weight so as to save the possibility of causing damage while moving a computer with an overweight heatsink.

No, the Cu has a different thermal resitance then the AlCu which would make sense, since Cu can transfer heat better than Al.
