If you are looking for the gayest, most annoying, most shaco-esque of the two, then Kassa is your choice. If you are looking for the least frustrating to play as, then Akali is better by a huge margin; she can actually farm from a distance thanks to her energy bar and do sort of ok if she's behind, while kassa can only bed over and take it until level 6, and even then if he's too farm behind he has a really really hard time catching back up.

If you are looking for a snowball burst 100-0 champion, then Akali is for you. If you are looking for sustained bursts of damage every 6 seconds, Kassa is for you.

Both snowball very hard, but Akali is like kata: she bounces to someone, kills them, bounces to someone else, kills them, bounces to a third person, kills them, etc... But if she gets CCed or if you are under your turret it isn't easy for her to get kills unless she is fed. True sight is also a big hinderance to her. She's like stereotypical ninja, hide in the shadows and kill you.

Kassadin is less impressive but much more consistent in his gameplay: he RQW you, AAs twice and kills you, then he retreats until his cooldowns come back up, RQW+AA, wait 6 seconds; even if you are under your tower, even if you have CC, even if you are tanky, even if you are fleeing, Kassa WILL find you and he WILL kill you because he can riftwalk all over the place. He's more like the ginosaji; you can't flee, you can't fight, just roll over and die.
