Note: 100% is considered standard exp. 200% is 100%(standard)+100%(ZEM mod)=200%(Modified Exp) Correct me if I'm wrong but with 75 being the standard 100% exp, zones with 150 ZEM would be 200% (Highkeep, Upper Guk, Kurns), there are two zones higher at 160 ZEM (Crushbone and Befallen) which is 206.67%, and I was wrong on Najena. Assuming my methodology is correct Najena is a 130 ZEM zone which would put it at 186.67% (along with other 130 ZEM zones Sola and Unrest). Again if I'm wrong I'd be curious where I'm erring.

First step? You'd need a reference zone to compare all other zones to, preferably one that shared its ZEM with as many zones as possible. -- As far as bonus, its effect is quite massive, anyone whose farmed Highkeep will tell you nothing compares 20-34 and 51-55, same goes with the other high ZEM zones. So while the list might not be correct to the multiplier, I think the scaling is at least appropriate as far as which zone's ZEM is superior. Til then I guess my percentages are just a reference to the relative superiority of zone multipliers.

Also, I'd love it if someone actually did the kind of research you mentioned here. Would be very cool. Though I'm sure the devs would fiddle with the ZEMs a bit once it became public knowledge.

What is the recommended dungeon to level in after 20?

If it has to be a dungeon.. I'd say Mistmoore, charming the low entrance mobs and battling them against one another. Problem is overcrowding is a common theme there. Few casters, easy to zone if things go bad. Fairly good pull sizes, 1, 2, and 3 mobs. Unrest is a bit more dangerous with the root proccing mobs and close quarters/difficult pulls. Upper Guk has plenty of suitable areas but I don't know the zone well enough to recommend them. Crocs? Shrooms? Frogs? Outdoor alternatives? My personal recommendation would be Lake of Ill Omen near the windmill. Otherwise, the Karanas might be good, I don't know them at all so I can't recommend them but it seems like people have luck there. Rathe Mountains perhaps? Not sure what level those skeletons are. Trio/Group Highkeep is #1 in my opinion, first its homey, warm, good atmosphere. Second, has one of the highest ZEMs in EQ. Aside from all that, goblins raise Rivervale faction if you need that, the zone has merchants that sell to evils, guards that you can escape to, melees can bind, and I think wizards can train there? A few enchanter spells are only sold here also. Once you are level 23-24 iirc, you can begin to weaponize and charm Osargen for your groups DPS. Its ridiculous. The first really OP pet you come across in EQ. Good proximity to EC so picking up new group mates is fairly easy. Overall good zone. Otherwise if you need elf faction or you just like Mistmoore you can go there. Outdoor Alternatives? Warslik Woods is a popular place around the giant fort.

Some things I've done so far in red to make some cash:
Head to WK and fight bandits from 12-15. They drop bronze and bandit sashes which can be exchanged for bronze. Made about 100p there (on red so consider it half the time) and was able to afford most of my spells for the next level. I did the Blackburrow method to get to 12 but IMO it's too fast and doesn't generate any cash. Not good for just starting out. Also Najena - that place is an abortion. Barely any cash drops just a high zem. Again, levelling quickly is great but if you can't afford your next spells you'd best take some time to farm some pp. Still a top notch guide.
