I prefer Hydra. No need to stack to get full potential. Death is just normal penalty, no stacks lost.

When you get TBC, if you are up to it, in teamfight you can stuck up all enemy team with armor shred in seconds. Which is also benefit for ADC and all physical damage.

Superb bushing ability. Huge waves can be pushed back in couple seconds with no sweat. But Riven could do that anyway.

Build path. Like with BoRK, path is good compliment to final item. You will probably get Brutalizer and Vamp Scepter first, boots, health gem. Then finish TBC, second boots or get something tanky if needed. But if you aim to get Hydra, you are free to get pickaxe or longsword whenever some gold are left. And just get Tiamat for a long time keeping. You are free to adapt your building paths when you plan to get Hydra. But if you get BF and scepter first, not to finish BT is setback.

All in all I personally like Hydra much more on Riven, also on Zed.
