21 utility is the best choice, you are not a normal mage, you don't build much ap, so you don't benefit from spellsword and many other masteries, whereas in utility you get hp regen/400 mana and you build a crapload of mana; spellvamp; cooldown reduction. A lot of stuff Ryze is in dire need of.

I think IBG is overall a better choice but in some matches and some teamcomps FH would be a better choice. I usually go for IBG but it's situational whether you build one or the other.
