ETF vs Index Funds? For long-term investors, what makes more sense?

I'm 27 years old, looking into investment options for long term ~ 20-30 years. I recently got to know about how and why ETFs can be more tax efficient as compared to most (index) mutual funds.
So far I have been investing in zero expense index funds (Fidelity Zero Index funds) for last 1 year. But now I'm confused should I be investing in index fund based ETFs because they more tax efficient as they won't be distributing capital gains every year.
Would like to know what others do and why? Thanks

Just want to understand what long term investors usually do? ETF or index funds?
I agree on automation part -- investing in index funds is much more easier, you can just automate it from your paycheck.
