I will use foldr max 0, because I want 0 for the empty list.

You can replace
foldr max 0
with simply
foldr1 max
or even
maximum
If it's important that the function return 0 when given an empty list, then you don't want to use foldr1 or maximum. But, if you don't need it to, then it may be sounder to have it fail on an empty list, because it's not particularly well-defined what it should return then.
