The ADO bus ride is quite comfortable (reclining seats and video movies), though the many winding turns can induce nausea in some folks (we always take Dramamine which induces drowsiness so we even sleep a little). The ride from Oaxaca varies in time (9-12 hours or more) depending on the departure time: day time is a longer ride (stop for lunch), night time is a shorter ride (see the ADO website for approximate trip durations). Since you are going to Zipolite, you will most likely get off the bus in Pochutla and then take a taxi to Zipolite (another 20 minute ride).
That said, for a MUCH quicker trip, fly AeroTucan from Oaxaca to Huatulco (30-35 minutes). Once at the Huatulco airport, you can take the ADO bus, or local bus, or taxi to Pochutla (about an hour's ride) and then a taxi to Zipolite.

I had never heard of the ADO bus picking people up at the airport and taking them to Pochutla. We are considering spending the first night the first night of out trip in Puerto Angel but I thought 750 peso from the convenience store was a bit high. my daughter paid a cab in front of the Hotel Villablanca 550 pesos to go to Puerto Angel last year. I have taken the van or collectivo from La Crucesita to the crucero (interchange) where you take the taxi or collectivo to San Agustin or to Pochutla many time but would not do it loaded down with luggage.
