You would only wanna get either of those if you don't get trinity, which means that you are satisfied with the damage you deal and want to be more tanky to chase and kill ppl. That or you're getting kited a whole lot.

I'd go for Mallet in 9 out of 10 occasions simply because playing a more AD favoured Jax seems more profitable, not to mention the items have a 200 hp difference with minimal difference in price. Yes Rylais would provide more offensive power and it would offer 16 mr as opposed to Mallet's 6 armor for the ulti, however that is only the 8 seconds of ulti and 200 hp would make much more of an impact in a trade, not to mention Rylai's slow is worse in every occasion than Mallet's (35% for 1.5 sec to 40% for 2.5 sec).
