I've always used [0-9], mainly because it is shorter to type
than [[:digit:]].

Just in case, I have the following in my .zshenv file:

export LC_COLLATE=POSIX

(actually, mainly for better filename sorting when filenames contain
hyphen-minus characters). IMHO, it is good to have that by default.
Specific collation rules should be used only when the context for
which they are considered is known.
