ZEC: Transparent Zcash is public like Bitcoin. Shielded Zcash hides sender, receiver and amount, so where the coins rest matters.
BTC: Every Bitcoin payment is public: the amount and both addresses stay on the ledger for anyone to read.
A shielded Zcash send hides its sender and amount; a transparent one doesn't. The bitcoin you receive is public either way, so give it a new address.
