Yoga vs Zhan Zhuang

Hello all,
Is there any material available anywhere that compares the long-term benefits off Hatha Yoga vs Zhan Zhuang (standing Qi-gong).

Does one confer any benefits that the other does not?

From what I have read from various sources, Zhan Zhuang is more comparable to Pranayama than Hatha Yoga, because both Zhan Zhuang and Pranayama enhance your control of Prana/Chi, whereas Hatha Yoga is more about your physical health.

I appreciate that it's not a black and white case, because if you enhance your control of Prana/Chi then your health also invariably improves, and vice versa.

So my next question is: Which of the following combinations is better in the long run?
Hatha Yoga + Pranayama
Hatha Yoga + Zhan Zhuang
Pranayama + Zhan Zhuang

Thanks in advance.
