As you said, discounting ripping it up from the earth holding up a falling mountain is harder than simply deadlifting it. Not discounting ripping it up from the ground, it becomes more difficult to say.
Unfortunately for hulk, his feat was not without conditions and he didn't simply hold up a mountain that was dropped on him:
There you have it. Iron Man and Hulk made a space for themselves just before landing so they wouldn't be insta-squashed.
The vast majority of the mountain was being supported by the land surrounding them (hence me saying Hulk was aided), so yes the hulk was only supporting the small area above him, Tony, Steve, the F4 and couple of other people.
150 billion tons is simply the weight of the mountain itself, not the actual weight that Hulk was holding up by himself.
Zeus' feat is clearly superior.
