I think the best garen build at the moment is combining tankyness with damage(and crit) what im doing at the moment is:

Boots of Swiftness

Frozen Mallet

Atmas Impaller

Maw of Malmortius

Infinity Edge

(6th item is purely the player's choice), early game you can build only Maw against AP's or Phage+Atmas and then improve to Mallet against AD's), the only major downside to this core build is the 13735 gold cost, you can just grab Hexdrinker if you aren't having much trouble with their AP's to lower the cost, leaving Frozen mallet stuck at phage is also possible but not recomendable, and while Warmog's is cheaper than frozen Mallet and gives more hp it doesn't give him any utility(the slow) to give him that chasing power and usefullness in teamfights but in those long games it can be a viable 6th item if the enemies aren't considering a Madred's Bloodrazor leaving the total build cost at 16375 gold

And this is a remake of an old build i had pre Maw of Malmortius where i used Force of Nature wich is more viable if you aren't getting much gold since Force of Nature gives him extra MS, more MR and alot of hp regen and is cheaper(690G cheaper), you can leave fights extremely low and still come back in the end with half or more HP with this build, assuming you made the Warmog+Force of Nature combo)
