Best zone to stop vertical routes?

I find myself getting hit a lot on 4 verts players vs zones in cover 2,3,4 (even the computer will at times) so I’m wondering what works best here? Seam flats? Vert hooks? I wish we had more info available on what each type of zone is supposed to do (hook zone, vert hook, mid read - never know which is best for what) what about curl flats (normal purple zones) they seem to play a bit better this year
