It depends where you're building him for. Early game AP Yi dominates and more importantly shuts down enemies, that Q is just too strong early game for a spammable nuke and he enters every fight with full health because his W heals him to full in almost under a second. At the expense that he has only one nuke in the first place. This is compared to other mages.

Late game AD Yi pubstomps people, with his AD and AS steroids he cleans up any fight which went even marginally in his team's favour. At the expense that he has no CC and can really only clean up, never engage. This is compared to other ADs.

Compared to each other: Both Yis aren't very powerful, personally I prefer AP Yi if I had to choose because he fairs so well against most mid lane mages, ~1200 max range on his Q is amazing and he's one of the best pushers letting him roam.
