Like Double Slap said, Frozen Mallet synergizes better with Runaans.

But if you're looking for a 3rd option, you could look into building Gargoyle's Stoneplate. It's pieces allow for building an early defensive item for tough bursty lanes (e.g. chain vest before finishing Nashor's vs a Jayce)  without having to fully commit to finishing the stoneplate before teamfights start happening. The completed item's passive & active provides the kind of defensive states for you to be a frontliner, soaking up damage and enemy abilities while you rev up fervor and/or guinsoo stacks with ur autoatks. Whether or not you're fed, you're the most scary when you have your stacks, so if you spend the first 4 seconds of a teamfight sacrificing damage for tankiness while you're frontlining, it can easily end up working in your favor and setting you up to do cleanup when gargoyle's active tics off.
