Maybe it's depending on the role you play.

Per statistics from champion(Dot)GG, Kayle masteries highest win-rate of top lane is 18.0.12 (favor Deathfire), whilst the highest win-rate masteries for mid lane is 12.18.0 (favor Thunderlord).

It makes sense if we look at 2 points:

+ The "Precision" mastery (flat penetration) of Thunderlord tree is better than "Piercing Thought" generally because it provides hybrid penetration (Kayle's dmg is approx 1/3 phys and 2/3 magic), and the flat value is better against squishy champs (mid lane) than tanks (top lane).

+ Top lane usually melee champions (or short range mage) who Kayle can poke more oftenly so DFT may be better than Thunderlord early. Whilst mid lane champions are either long-range mages or burst champions (assasins, nuke mages)...
