Zangband is actually one of the more forgiving of these games, in my experience. It was harder in earlier versions, but I still find that I can win it one out of 4-5 games (provided I follow my strategy and don't get overconfident
)
Personally I still like Moria for its clean and simple concept. (Except with a high-score list consisting of 1 winner on top and 30+ level 36-38 "killed by ancient multihued dragon" it says something about how deadly it is. I have only won it 3 times over the soon 20 years I have played it).
OTOH as you seem to like all the weirdness and special items and stuff found in Zangband I would recommend Nethack. It is also full of weird and funny stuff. Just wait 2 weeks to start out. There is no moon tonight and if I remember correctly that gives you (a permanent) -1 luck on all characters started now.
ADOM was also fun, but as many times before I reverted back to Moria and (original 1.43-forg-knows) Angband.
