Hi ! If you're still seeking an answer, it seems most pro or high elo players -including the guys on Lolking and Phylol- prefer BotRK. Let's compare the two of them.

-BT : 100 attack damage, 16% life steal.

-BotRK : 25 attack damage + 5% of the enemy's current health. It already makes up for the 75 missing attack damage, especially in the current meta where health stacking is a common thing.

-Plus 15% life steal, which is on par with BT.

-Plus 40% attack speed, which is a stat Vayne benefits from more than any other carry, seeing how her W shreds everything by late game.

-Plus the great active that allows you to chase even easier or get away from sticky situations.

All in all, BotRK is a WAY better item on Vayne, at least in my opinion and seemingly on pro player's mind as well. The "optimal" core build for Vayne would so happen to be BotRK, Greaves, PH, IE and LW, their pick order depending on how the matchup goes and with an optional 6th defensive item and even the option to, if late game goes that far, sell boots back to get another offensive item.
