Fireforge has the best medieval plastics. Pic related. Their standard Peasant kit mixes and matches with it, too. There are enough extra bits in the box - each sprue of six models comes with 12 heads, plus arms and weapons for ~25 figures - that you can dress up several other more generic kits with them to make more zeds. Three sprues of six models each for $25.
Speaking of dress-up, WGA's zombies are generic as fuck (on purpose) and unarmed. No weapons, lots and lots of heads for different periods. They're dressed in a tattered tunic or t-shirt and torn shorts. Five sprues of six models, 70-odd heads per sprue and 18 arms, so again you can tart up about 15-20 other models with spare bits from the box.
Mantic's kit is.. okay. The problem isn't the sculpts or quality. It's that the box is a stack of 13 identical sprues with only three models each, and it's very hard to vary the poses or convert them. All of the models have one or both arms in fixed positions, two out of the three torsoes have extremely distinctive weapons, and there are only a couple of extra heads with no extra arms. One or two sprues for variety in a larger unit is fine. In big units they're miserable to paint and look extremely copy/paste. The Ghoul unit has much the same problem, with only two models per sprue and a single weapon/head variant on it.
The Frostgrave male Cultist kit only has bits for about 4-6 zombies and another handful of skeletons in the box of 20 models. Not recommended for Undead on its own, even if it's a great kit otherwise. The female box has bits for more like 15 per box of 20, but none of the zombie arms have weapons.
If you're looking for a good variety you'd probably be best-off grabbing one box of each of the Frostgrave Cultist kits and then one of the Fireforge peasants to kitbash, should get you about 50-60 zombies with enough bits to convert a few generic infantry from one of your buddy's armies to throw in the units as well.
