It really depends on how you play Kayle, honestly.

I like to be aggressive in the 0 CS role, leveraging Kayle's strong level 1-2 game. So in that respect, I feel that the biscuit and the explorer ward are good investments, as you get a little bit of sustain and some protection against an early gank from the enemy jungler, which allows you to put more pressure on the enemy bot lane. Sightstone is good on first back, as it gives you a steady supply of wards to protact yourself from approaches, and +health synergizes well with Kayle's naturally high Armor and scaling MR.

You may want two GP/10 items, although Philo is more of a passive choice and not really my style. It's better sustain than Sightstone, but worse coverage for wards and no protection from burst damage. This is an item you get if you have to sit on your tower and help your carry farm, like if you are babysitting a Vayne or Kog. The Eleysia's upgrade is nice if you like Heal/CV, though, and you can also upgrade to Shurelya's if your team doesn't have that coming out of the jungle.

Kage's is sneaky good on Kayle, because it upgrades into the Shard, which has a useful active for peeling/initiation. Kayle as 0 CS has a want of more buttons to push in fights (since you don't use Q/E much, and W has a long cooldown), so I like items with actives on them.

tl;dr: Sightstone/Kage's for aggressive Kayle, SS/Philo or Philo/SS for passive babysitter Kayle, boots Lucidity if you need the CDR, Utiltiy tree is stupidly good and you should spec in it.
