Focus On Building HP/Shield

Since you want a beefy shield with this build, it's recommended to only use weapons with either an HP sub-stat or has a weapon skill that increases HP/Shield Strength. There are currently no HP sub-stat 5-star weapons so the Staff of Homa is the best 5-star for Zhongli right now.
