It's pretty even. The difference is that AD has duelling power and betr split pushing power overall (since even tho both push waves well, AD hits towers harder on a consistent basis). AP on the other hand is betr for team fights and have an easier time covering up for the mistakes ur teammates make.

The 2nd and biggest factor is the way their performances spike due to their gearing process. The component items for AD help Kayle perform well quickly, whereas AP takes some time to setup since Nashor's is needed. But when that Nashor's is completed, the performance spike changes again since most of the CDR is completed from that alone. Coupled with the fact all of her main attributes are augmented.

AD Kayle requires at least 2 completed items to have a stabilizing performance in general (for me, Zephyr and Essence Reaver complemented with Ionians for maxed out CDR from Runes), but once they are made, I can pretty much build whatever the Hell I want after that without complaint.
