Okay, I say go for the zirconium. I have it, and there is no need for grip tape. It is also light.
On heads, I don't think you should be getting such a pinched head so soon. I suggest you start with a Brine Cyber, or the like. It is a good medium-pinch head, that is solid. It will make your fundamentals better, with cradling. That is what coaches like, fundamentals. The cyber will help with that, forcing you to cradle correctly.
