Youmuu's versus Cleaver is situational. Yeah, the speed boost from Youmuu's is nice, but the AS goes to waste, and after a while, flat armour pen just stops cutting it, unless you're managing to jump on their squishies every time, in which case more power to you, I guess (just hope they don't get a Randuin's). Cleaver, on the other hand, gives you percentage armour shred, a little more health and benefits your team rather than just you personally. Of course, one option, particularly if you're doing well, is to buy an early Youmuu's and swap out for Cleaver later.
