Which isotope ratio should be used to assess Precambrian detrital zircons: 206Pb/238U age vs. 207Pb/206Pb?

If I want to plot detrital zircon ages of Precambrian age (600 to 2500 Ma) on a probability density plot, which age (i.e. 206Pb/238U or 207Pb/206Pb) should I use? In the literature, one often...

Is it possible that radiation damage in old zircons can make the zircon grains lose their original mechanical resistivity?

Recently, I started picking detrital zircons from a Neoproterozoic sandstone for later U/Pb age dating. Some grains which, judging from shape, relief, colour etc., most probably are zircons, can...
