Morello is a great Item you probably always want to get, but if you are against a zed you MUST rush Zhonya's because if you don't you are absolutely dead once he hits level 6 even if you decide to hug tower. Always have his energy on check, if you see he is below 50% he's most probably not going hard into you unless you're getting ganked so keep wards on bushes. You need that Zhonya's as quick as possible to fight Zed. You're probably not getting it before his level 6 so you'll need to save your flash+shield if he ults you while playing more safely than before.

Think about it, Zhonya's not only is giving you the CDR but it's also guaranteeing that you'll survive his combo, and after that he's got nothing and must go back to restore his energy. Also, It's giving you AP and more armor to survive his attacks and abilities, so Zhonya's actually has everything you need to counter Zed.
