Triforce is a bit better for him since the removal of its AP stat, and giving it both CDR and more crit. There's also nothing wrong with getting both BC and Tforce, the phage-like effect does mostly go to waste, but procs off just physical damage, not just autos, which is great if you have a Q ticking on someone.

Basically Talon is gated with mana issues because of how strong he is being able to spam his strong low cooldown abilities. Getting a single Sapphire Crystal at some point allows you to get one more rotation of basic abilities off, but also costs the same as a longsword, which gives that first rotation of abilities upwards of 50 raw damage. The best way to asses the situation would be asking whether you'll be needing to use your entire mana pool, such as needed to constantly hit tankier champs or ones with sustain, or will be able to jump in and get a kill on a squishier character by getting that straight up damage stat. 9 times out of 10 this is the latter.

Ask jungler nicely for blue buff is the last thing to help you.
