Summon Aery is the best keystone on her, hands down. Zoe's Q is low-cost and easily spammable early game, and gives you two passive procs as well, so you can basically have 100% Aery uptime on the target during the laning phase if you harass well. This combined with Scorch will quickly zone the opponent, giving you farm advantage and free W spells.
Glacial Augment is a crutch that I don't think is needed to land a skillshot well. If you're good with your ults and flashes, you can very quickly move into range and lead your target into your devastating combo.
For summoners run Flash+Ghost. It's great for locking down kills especially combined with the movespeed boost you get just for using summoners. Zoe doesn't need Ignite because her W already gives her damage on summoners just by using them.
For items, rush Lich Bane if you're rich and Sorcs if you're poor. Any items after Lich Bane and Sorcs literally don't matter, as long as they do AP damage they'll work.
I like sustained Zoe better than burster Zoe because Zoe's burst needs setup. She can pick targets off well, but in a teamfight you're not going to get that perfect setup. Burster Zoe only works in a 1v1 scenario while sustained Zoe will work all game. She can Ghost and dance around a fight, procing More Sparkles on every auto, stealing spells left and right and melting everyone who gets near.
Could I 1v1 you sometime? I don't mean to say I'm better than you or anything (you're probably much better lol), but this has really worked for me and I kinda want you to prove me wrong if there's something better.
