magento is very big and if no experience it will take a very long time to implement.

With Zend i have no experience...

have a look at WordPress or Drupal too.

You could also examine osCommerce (from their homepage you can go to several live sites using osCommerce):

http://www.oscommerce.com/

I copied the following from their homepage:

"osCommerce Online Merchant is an Open Source online shop e-commerce solution that is available for free under the GNU General Public License. It features a rich set of out-of-the-box online shopping cart functionality that allows store owners to setup, run, and maintain online stores with minimum effort and with no costs, fees, or limitations involved."

"With over 8 years of operation, osCommerce has built a showcase of over 12,700 online shops that have been voluntarily added to the live shops section, and powers many thousands of more online shops worldwide."

If you're not sure of the answer to this question, and there is any money involved in the future, you should hire a professional developer.  Don't try to do this yourself.  There are specialists who can help you make the right choices today and avoid catastrophe down the road.  If you insist on doing this yourself, I agree with doofah - create the necessary test beds and experiment with your test data until you can make the choice.
