Certainly no right answer for everyone but if you look at most professional landscape photographers, people that do this for a living...you will find that they use zooms more often than not.
Some ot the landscape photographers that I follow include, Eric Bennett, Alex Noriega, Adam Gibbs, Bill Neil, Erin Babnik and others.
Yes, the disdain on this forum towards zooms is quite amusing. I think the most likely explanation of that bias is that the IQ gap between primes and zooms used to be a lot larger in days past. Now, in some cases, the performance is very similar (e.g. ultra-wide range -> 14/24DN or 12-24/2.8GM).
As for me, I actually started to appreciate zooms the more I shoot, but of course horses for courses...
