I don't think that AP Bruiser is better than AD Bruiser, on Fizz. If you are building AP, you are doing that to be able to burst people with your Q, ult, and E, as well as the AP ratio from W. To do that, you must build as much AP and magic penetration as possible, otherwise people will be able to buy magic resistance to resist your burst and there goes the whole premise from an AP bruiser build.

AD Bruiser is superior because Fizz will be building on-hit AD items, which make up for the lack of magic penetration and AP to boost your abilities. Hybrid damage is extremely hard to itemize against, especially if you are an squishy champion. AD items generally also have better synergy with tank items because many of them don't require you to build more AD items to have synergy. Some champions have, however, an kit that can make up for that, such as in case of Maokai. Fizz is not one of them, however.

Also, as an AP champion, Fizz has Zhonya's Hourglass. Zhonya's + being able to become untargetable with his E means that there isn't much point in building tanky, it is better to just go full glass cannon as you shouldn't be able to being hit and you want to burst as fast as possible.

On AD Fizz, you should build tanky despite the untargetability because you need to stick to people and hit them a lot, and you can't do that while untargetable. The E is only used for mobility and not to become untargetable or do damage.
