More that the others are too small a market for anyone to have ever bothered making an ASIC for them (though X11/X13/X15 had a company called Cleverhash doing development work on such a miner, they apparently never got the funding to finalise and produce their design).
For SHA256 and Scrypt, ASIC are the ONLY viable options.
For everything else, GPU mining should still be viable, though it won't be big profit at best.
The Zeus models, when they finally showed up, were INFERIOR to the Innosilicon A2 by quite a bit - and didn't stack up any better vs the Alcheminer or KnC Titan when those showed up. There's a reason Zeus folded it's "making miners" tent, they flat out couldn't compete effectively enough to sell enough product to make back their development costs (though they got tapped by Innosilicon to produce some A2-based hardware for a while).
