Sounds like you're asking about 100/200mm primes and a 70-300mm zoom? What exactly are you wanting to know, whether a zoom will offer you the same quality as a prime? For all intents and purposes, unless you're an anal pixel peeper (poring over your 20 megapixel images at 100% zoom looking for 5 pixel wide lens imperfections) or the zoom lens has a bad design there's really not a huge difference.
