I think the build has its legitimate reasons, most notably avoiding instagibs. That's the build with, the meta build right now. This is where the is relevant because it encourages building.

On the other hand, the lifesteal build with is the option that I recommend. If you want to you know, actually do damage, this is the build that does it best.

If you look at purely for the stats she already has, the lifesteal build makes the most sense. Ending with, she makes good use out of the those ratios she has. The synergizes with her sustain, as small as it is.

If you are looking in terms of practicality for team compositions, the build with  is the most general option, able to be used in nearly all situations.
 * It's mainly because having a player that won't get instagibbed is very valuable to engage teamfights freely.
 * If is the only champion capable of engaging, then lifesteal would be a pain in the ass with all the CC that would be directed at her.

The one situation where and the  build cannot work is when the enemy has multiple dedicated tank slayers:, , , ,  with ,  with  etc.
 * In this case the greater offensive power of the lifesteal build is more valuable than the tankiness, even if sustain is gimped by.
