noclobber is also an option setting in zsh, and I always have it set. The little extra confirmation it requires before clobbering is actually a nice confirmation that you are doing what you intended when you did intend it, and a nice rescue in case you didn't. It won't save you from clobbering from another machine when using scp, though, so watch out.
