Which is best for ACL?

Yep, Zend Framework components are pretty modular. You could use the Zend Session and Auth components with the ACL, but even that isn't necessary.

You only have to serialize the ACL object if you need to dynamically update it in your code. For example, you build a utility where an admin user can create additional roles/resources or edit them.
