I don't think it's really a case of 'Flare vs. Spirit Items - the Showdown' but it's just that Flare is just a much better offensive option on Xin than Elder Lizard and being offensive is just how he tends to roll, hence he's seen as a good user of it.

I personally hate going Flare on him because his farming is godawful slow even with Madred's and it's a giant waste of his ganking prowess. I strongly prefer a BotRK/Youmuu's + full CDR tank build because I can kill people from the get-go and I transition into a very sticky diver that churns out CC like candy lategame.
