i have two options at grub startup when i’m restoring, which one to choose?

vmlinuz-linux-zen & initramfs-linux-zen-fallback.img & intel-ucode.img
or
vmlinuz-linux-zen & initramfs-linux-zen.img & intel-ucode.img

Normally you should be using:

not the fallback one.

What’s the difference between two?

We use dracut now, but the concept explained here for mkinitcpio still applies.

If you’re restoring and unsure which option to choose, go with the option that includes initramfs-linux-zen.img and not the fallback image (initramfs-linux-zen-fallback.img). The fallback image is typically used when the default image fails to boot, so if you’re restoring to a working setup, the regular initramfs-linux-zen.img should be sufficient.
