Morgana outsustains him badly, black shields the stun to juke his skill shots more potentially, is better suited to evade ganks, has a decent burst combo herself and she can push the with her pool to make him waste some mana on creeps trying to last hit at tower. Lux has a superior poking skill that is easier to land in my opinion is more gank resistant with her shield and longer cc skill that doesn't require a set-up, has similar burst potential again. Xeraths range is only something to fear late game when he has a lot of points in his stance and he doesn't have it on a cd of like 20 seconds. I've always seen his laning as kind of mediocre as his q is very dodgeable if you just keep moving horizontally, he needs a good amount of mana regen, he's very gankable as he relies on a set-up stun and he has no innate sustain. He might do better against other casters, but these are my favourites and I don't really care about the others.
Morgana is pretty much the counter to most mids. Lux I can see being annoying as she has 3 cces that she can throw out once you start the animation for Q.
