As long as we're talking the classic, slow zombies the zombie apocalypse would certainly be the most survivable. Nevertheless, I'm voting for aliens since X-COM is my favorite game of all time. What an awesome way to get cool high-tech gizmos - we just kill the aliens who made them and we don't even have to feel guilty about it because the're evil!
Admittedly, if the aliens turned out to be LV426-type xenomorphs we'd be completely hosed. It's a calculated risk and everyone could say they told me so while we're stuck to walls waiting for our chestbursters to mature.

I'd want a nuclear apocalypse, as long as I was living near a major economical/financial target (New York City for example) or a major government or military target like Washington D.C. or back in my hometown of Norfolk VA ( home of the largest naval base in the world, NATO headquarters, a large shipyard and CINCLANT). If I were living in any of those places I'd probably be dead before I even registered the flash of the nuke detonating.
Zombie survival would be my best chance, but depending on the global disaster I may be able to survive that. If it's a disaster causes by a solar flare(look up what would happen if one of these hit us) we're all fucked. Nuke I may be able to survive. Disaster I have a pretty decent chance. Aliens...well...I fly a plane...
The best part of an apocalypse is a the post-apocalypse, and the nuclear apocalypse is likely to kill everyone and everything so there would be no point surviving.
Perhaps a massive EU vs US vs USSR war that didn't use nukes and left the world in an anarchy-state of nationalists, rebels, and justforthefunofit zombies?

Zombies.
Theres not much else you can do for Nuclear/Natural Disaster besides hide and pray.
So its all down to aliens and zombies in the "apocalypse you can shoot at" scenario, but aliens tend to have a massive tech advantage, so it would be a bit one sided.

Depends how apocalyptic we're talking.
I mean if we're all definitely going to be dead at the end of it, I'd prefer nuclear so I die nice and quick (provided I can get close to the impact obviously).
But if there's a chance of ragtag survival, I'd go with zombies or aliens and arm myself to the teeth. Aliens would probably edge it for me because, though fighting off zombies is cool and probably easier, I'd prefer to witness the revelation that we're not alone in the universe. Even if said universe just wants to rip our faces off.
EDIT: Though an apocalypse where the very fabric of space and time is completely unravelled by our own physics experiments would be interesting to witness.

aliens,because then I could go up in a mothership,meet a 10 year old girl,a samurai,a soldier who was at the battle of anchorage,and a cowboy and destroy another alien spaceship with giant plasma cannon that I destroyed earlier in which case makes no sense how I can use it know.
Zombies, definately.
I was at my local country pub a while back, chatting to the landlady during the compulsory 3am lock-in. Bearing in mind she's probably around 55 years old, I asked her what her plans for the Zombie apocalypse were. She went into great detail about her plans. Needless to say, I was a bit surprised.
I think everyone should have a plan!

zombie. if their shamblers, then they would just be fun(take an rc car and put a steak on it and laugh as they chase it.)
