Only if u need crown in anterior it matters , zirconia give more color match , because itz made in layers so all the light reflection and refraction are good therfore gives natural color , also strength is good.
Other ceramics are also good but zirconia translucent is best . But i suggest a normal ceramic crown will be sufficient if itz posterior tooth .
