i think the best thing beefheart and zappa did together was the 1975 radio version of 'orange claw hammer', amazing stuff... it's on the 'grow fins' box. willie the pimp on hot rats is good too.
and of course zappa produced trout mask, but i'm not sure if he did a lot there, maybe just leaving all those talking bits and little things in between the songs, to make it sound less produced. which was a good thing, but the music was good enough and it was done without zappa.
