So here's a quick rundown on how Ekko can kill you:
He has a passive that when he hits 3 times (abilities and autos) he deals a burst of damage. His Q can proc the passive twice (when going out and back) so you should always try to avoid getting hit by at least Q2. His W gives him shield and stuns you if you're inside with him so that's something else you'll wanna avoid with E or R. His first E cast is a dash and second cast is point and click, you can only avoid it if you use Zhonya's before the damage hits or if you go invis on E and manage to keep enough distance. His R revives him but also deals a lot of damage. When he procs passive he also gains MS.
So imo with Ekko you basically can't get baited into going all-in and chasing him down. If he can get his damage off or bait you into his W or R you lose. When his R is up and he's almost dead if you stay in range of his R damage you'll explode. You'll want to always be very careful when facing him head on and never underestimate him. Chasing him blindly is usually a bad idea, and if he's after you you'll need to keep as much distance as you can (sidenote: he can use E on minions/monsters to get closer to you too so if you're fleeing stay away from them too)
Even if you play perfectly a fed Ekko will still likely kill you if he lands anything on you or gets close enough. You'll need your team to keep an eye on you and CC him.
What can help you survive in terms of itemization:
For AD, that's going to be Wit's End and Shieldbow/Maw of Malmortius. They can buy you some time.
As for AP... I don't think Banshee's is that great of an item. Even though Ekko is AP I believe you have better chances of outplaying him with Zhonya's. You can use the item for his R, E, W stun or a deadly Q. Banshee only saves you if you're lucky.
