I found the answer as to why mag would be better than zinc in fresh water in the link you sent. I cut and pasted for others to see......

Not all anodes are suitable for every environment, for example the surface of a zinc or aluminium anode will if left in fresh water for some time become covered with an off white crust of oxide which effectively seals the anode and stops it working even when returned to salt water.
