Reason for changing to Zotereo were some strange bibtex-export issues, where the bibtex file got messed up and had to be readjusted manually.

I find Zotero useless for my work with ConTeXt. You cannot have cross-references within your bibliographic items, and it is impossible to have proper markup in bibliographical items. For me, both are absolute killer arguments; I cannot work with zotero. And the bibtex export sucks; important features such as bibtex strings are not supported. So I would actually recommend jabref if you need a cross-platform tool or bibdesk if you're using OS X exclusively. Regarding a system when you write your context files: I use Emacs, and I haven't seen anything more powerful or more convenient than reftex (which also works with context, after a few tweaks in your configuration file).
