ZUK z1 service is questionable.Le 1 has mediatek chipset so no custom ROMs.

Then you should go with Zuk Z1 since these phones can be serviced by lenovo service centers.

LeEco's rom is worse than MIUI and/or crapwiz. Out of 3 GB ram, only 1-1.2 GB remains free on idle. And since there is zero dev support, you can't get rid of the bloated UI.

I am using Redmi Note 3. Actually been using it for 3 months now. So if you want my opinion - Camera is the worst part of the phone. I wont talk about pics in daylight as most of them are good & if any phone cant produce good day light pics then they aren't worth considering at all. What I will emphasize on are indoor lit & poorly lit conditions. The photos under indoor lights turn out from average to worse depending on the light source and the amount of light. If there is enough light then the pics are average at best and if the light is scant then the pics will be hazy, out of focus and will have lotta noise. As compared to this, one of my friend's OnePlus X takes amazing pics in similar lighting conditions.

In the day to day activity its all hunky dory for RN3. If you open up whatsapp, fb & some other apps you will have around 600mb of free RAM. Battery of RN3 is stellar!!
