Universal seems easiest, life would suck a bit, but by being Genre savvy you'd be safe. Star indoors when dark, have mirrors, religiuous icons, silver and wooden bullets.

I often wonder why it is only Christian symbols seem to work against these monsters/demons. I mean what if I used Taoist or Buddhist symbols and purification techniques? What if I had a star of David? Man, these monsters are so insensitive to other peoples' faiths.
Depends on the lore, sometimes it's because the Christians hunted vampires the most, espeically with stuff like the inquisition. Or because Dracula was originally a Christian. Other times it's simply has to be an object of faith, generally because Vampires are considered soulless creatures. But I think the best one is where it has to an object of faith with someone who actually believes in it to work.
When the X-men fought Dracula a cross made by Wolverine wouldn't repell him, but one used by Nightcrawler (a devout catholic) did. Also Kitty Pryde's Star of David worked. In a Doctor Who episode from the old series a Russian Communist and staunch party supporter repells a vampire with his army badge where a young Priest who has doubts fails.
There are other variations like it has to be the vampires original belief (you're screwed with Atheists and Nihlists) or sometimes its just one of many myths made up by the vampires to remove attention from themselves.

Zombies. Duh. Everyone would be best against that one. If you actually put some thought into it, the zombie apocalypse doesn't even remotely make sense. Even the fast moving ones are only about on par with Rabies as a potential killer. Unless there are already millions of them to start with, but then how did that situation happen in the first place? It just doesn't work.
Yeah but I wouldn't want it on the off chance it's something like Crossed or Black Gas Zombies, where the infection makes people into sadistic monsters while still maintaining their cunning and intelligence.
