I would go AP vs an AD Nidalee, if you ask me, unless you are sure you can instantly burst her down. AP Malphite is squishy or has a hard time itemising since you have to mix defense and offense. (my opinion)

I haven't yet encountered Nida top with Malphite, but I would recommend fulltank (my preferred choice on Malph, anyway) due to her Cougar burst scaling with AD, but still doing magic damage (which is the reason for your W being almost useless).

Try early Sunfire for passive damage, Iceborn Gauntlet for E combined with its bonus damage, and get magic resistance! Use W to burst your damage on E and IBG.
