Zekrom

Pretty new at Pokemon battle so bear with me.

I read that the preferred Nature for a physical attacker Zek is Jolly/Adamant, but is there a distinct difference between the two? Does an extra 10% attack allow any of the attacks to bypass the threshold of an extra turn? (if this concept makes sense, I'm not sure if there is a terminology for that). And on the flip side, since Zek is already one of the slower(est?) legendaries/uber (at 90 speed), does getting extra 10% speed to tiebreak or hope to tiebreak the speed war really matter?

Thanks a lot, and sorry if these are the basics.

With Zekrom the most common set is Choice Scarf, and it needs an attack boosting nature to 2HKO max HP Arceus formes (If Bolt Strike hits them neutrally), that is a huge factor. +Speed Natures only give the benefit of only having a speed tie at worst with other base 90 scarfers, and outspeeds Deoxys-Attack.
