That just depends on what you're looking for. Talon is a little more straightforeward than talon, but Talon will take time to master. Talon excels late game, while Shaco often falls apart late game (unless extremely fed). Their play styles are much different. I buld Talon with all burst damage, but frozen mallet is also popular with him. I've seen a lot of players use zeal too. I would also recommend good movement speed with him: boots of swiftness will usually do.

I'm not quite as familiar with shaco builds. He can be built ap, ad, or hybrid (Talon is all ad). Shaco has some fun abilities to mess with. Decieve can be used to enter battles and get out of them quickly, which is useful. Talon's cutthroat is good for entering battles, but you can't target your own teammates, so near useless for escaping. Talon's ult is amazing for both group damage and escaping, though.

Talon was one of my first champs, and I still play him all the time at level 30. He would probably be better to start with than Shaco because his playstyle is a bit more straightforeward. Try out both champs eventually, but I would recommend starting with Talon. (BTW, I saw your post on Shaco's page first, just decided to post on Talon's because I use him all of the time) If you have any more questions on how to build/play Talon, just ask me, I'll be happy to help.
