Default Zinc on roof shingles

We recently had our roof reshingled. Our neighbor says that we should
add zinc strips to prevent moss from accumulating. Also he says that he
sprinkles something called Moss-Out (a zinc based product) on the
shingles for the same purpose. We live in Western Washington where it
rains a lot. Should we follow his advice? He had 25 year shingles put
on his roof whereas we chose 40 year. Don't know if that makes any
difference.
