I would say that between hydra and zehpyr that's situational. I would say zephyr against teams with lots of cc. then you can spam ctrl 4 and "I'm a rock" in all chat as you slap people in the middle of team fights. Hydra would be a snowball item. You could even consider both and sunfire if you needed to split push. I would only do that though if you had at least someone else building tanky to be able to hold them off long enough for you to farm and buy tankier items, but the aoe damage you would deal in team fights would be phenominal.

But remember, HIGHLY situational.
