I'd say that AP/AS Kayle is better for pushing than AD Kayle.

Single target damage is less, but AOE damage is significantly higher (better for minion wave clearing). Since 40% of AP is converted into bonus damage against towers, AP still has about 60-70% of AD's per-hit bonus damage even considering the extra gold efficiency of AD items in Season 3. Obviously the impact of AS is the same for both, and the lack of ability to crit towers takes away AD's normal edge here.

The one claim to fame that AD used to have, was higher mobility, but now MS is available to hybrid Kayle (via Zephyr).
