It is depend on your requirement .suppose you need a voltage regulator of 5V than you need 5V Zener diode.

Zener diode can be defined as diode which allows current to flow in the forward direction in the same method as an ideal diode, but will also allow it to flow in reverse direction when the voltage is above definite value known as the breakdown voltage


What is the difference between p n junction and zener diode?

The difference between the pn-junction diode and the zener diode is that the pn-junction diode is used for rectification while the zener diode is used for rectification and stabilization. Also, the zener diode can function in the breakdown region while the pn-juntion diode can not function in that regime.
