The OP has plenty of time and the Hauptbahnhof is a tourist sight. This is certainly a "pro" for the journey via Hauptbahnhof. Timewise it should not make any big difference - the journey via Hauptbahnhof might be a bit quicker: The bus to Zoo takes 19 minutes, the bus to Hauptbahnhof takes 20 minutes, the train from Zoo to Hauptbahnhof takes 4 extra minutes....
