(Hybrid) Penetration is stronger if you build more damage items(especially if you take botrk or liandries) than tanky. But, if you build primarily tank, then you won't have any base damage as Skarner's q and ult has almost Only scaling damage.

Hybrid pen is amazingly strong if you were to run him with a Sated devourer. However, magic pen isn't gunna do anything for your jungle clears, ironically except against scuttle which you really want to take.

In toplane I would take hybrid pen if I don't have to play super defensive, but in the jungle I would avoid magic pen as it won't help clear at all.
