It depends on if the ADC main source of damage is their AA or their spells. In other words, burst ADC vs dot ADC. Cait, Vayne, and Draven would like to get Phantom Dancer. While Graves, Ezreal, and Sivir would like to get Statikk Shiv. Also, it would depend on weather or not you are beating the other ADC, for example if you are behind and are low on gold it might be better to get Shiv, because it is cheaper, and it will allow you to farm/push better. I personally like Statikk Shiv better because to me it is cooler. What you could do is when you are looking to build one of these items get Zeal first as both build out of it, and after that if you are doing well pick which one you want, but if you are not doing good atleast get Avarice Blade for the extra gold.

Not related at all, but Shen with Wits End, and Statikk Shiv is best split pusher.

Where did this knowledge come from you may ask?

I played alot of Graves, Draven, Vayne, and Kog'Maw a while ago. I also watched a Youtube video about it.
