I'm not really sure how Zcash's privacy features differentiate it from a Cryptonote protocol, like Monero.

Disclosure: I own Bitcoin, but do not currently own any Monero. I have no financial incentive to promote it, I'm just legitimately curious as to how Zcash is different.

Monero and other ring signature schemes can only feasibly "mix" your transactions with a small number of previous transaction outputs, opening the door to statistical attacks.

Zcash mixes your transaction with every previous transaction. In fact, it goes to great lengths to make transactions indistinguishable from each other.

Yep, also dash is privacy-oriented.
