Japanese: 準じる and 準ずる?
I'm curious if these are identical, or if there are differences in meaning or usage. Is there a more common alternative to these?
Also, how does 準ずる conjugate? I assume it would be (ru), but I saw a weird reference to a "zuru" class. Is that like some variation of "suru"?

They are the same.
準ずる sounds more formal.
準ずる - SA-row irregular
-ぜ/-じ(-ze/-ji)
-じ(-ji)
-ずる(-zuru)
-ずる(-zuru)
-ずれ(-zure)
-じろ/ぜよ(-jizo/-zeyo)
準じる - Kami-ichidan
-じ(-ji)
-じ(-ji)
-じる(-jiru)
-じる(-jiru)
-じれ(-jire)
-じろ/-じよ(-jiro/-jiyo)
Both are "Ichidan" verb indeed, but æºãã is a "zuru" verb (alternative form of -jiru verbs); its just like a word é£ãã [ãªããã]
and it's like you said that the zuru and jiru verbs are derived from suru verbs. Hope this helps
æºãã is a traditional word. We can see it in laws or contractions. Though æºãã is modern word, it is used in writing mainly. In conversation, we prefer more easy word. To explain this, I partially cite the dictionary.

ãããã«æºããæ績ãwe say this “2çªç®ã®æ績”
^_^ Sorry, ã®ã£ã¨ãis not so easy word also.
BTW, we use æº daily. æº means second/ secondary.
æºåªåã: runner-up/ second place
æºå : preparation
They conjugate the same way, and, due to similar meaning, would be understandable in spoken context. Technically, they are the same verb.
The spelling variation is to separate the meanings in written cases, since texts in Japan are written in the short form. Therefore, whilst reading, it's easy to understand whether they mean "to conform" or "to correspond".
