I disagree with MPEN boots being better for teamfights, more so if you pick a voidstaff later on. In teamfights having around a 25% CDR means that you can do your E-Q combo every 3 secs or so which implies you being able to R - E + Q - pool then when out of pool E-Qing again much more smoothly. When I bought some other boots I find myself not having time to E-Q a second time when being focused. In addition to this, if you have the zhonya's hourglass makes it another "pool" letting you combo a third time even.

Mpen boots are better for short exchanges of damage where you only have time to E-Q once, but overall I would highly recommend picking the CDR ones. Besides, if you pick the aforementioned voidstaff CDR boots become better than the Mpen ones because that 20 Mpen they give is practically lost with the % Mpen.

All in all the CDR boots let you sustain a bit better, farm better and let you lane a bit better which gets you to your late game earlier. If you are going solo top I think they are generally the best. If going mid it depends on the opposing champ and your playstyle.

Just my 2 cents though.
