None of us can yet, since none of us have ridden more than one of those three. As Cam mentioned, we plan to do some back to back testing later this summer, just haven't had a chance yet ;)
What I can say is that the Fox 38 feels stiffer than the 36 in similar ways to Cam's description of ZEB vs Lyrik: big holes feel a little smaller and less deflection shows up in the form of easier sledding when holding a line in rough terrain. G-outs at the bottom of steep sections are easier to manage. Also similarly, that stiffness doesn't come at the cost of comfort.
If you're looking to pull the trigger, I don't think there's a bad choice, but naturally we'll try to provide more usable info soon.
