They're roughly equal, it just depends on what you want. In top lane Trundle counters a lot of common champs and is generally a strong pick, whereas J4 is good but has several strong counters. In the jungle J4 has stronger ganks and Trundle has better buff/dragon/baron control and sustain.

Jarvan's strength primarily lies in his CC and his versatility, since he can be built as a full tanky, tanky DPS, or full on DPS depending on what your team needs. Trundle isn't as versatile, but he's a better all-around jungler and a safer pick for solo top. I'd say both are worth the IP and neither is a bad choice, it just depends on what you're looking for.
