I personally prefer the Krugs, though I should perhaps try out Gromp more. The reason I prefer the Krugs is because Skarner's clear-based damage is AoE, and lets him makes better use of his passive on multi-monster camps. Combined with his stun, it also means he takes less damage overall. Despite his shield, he takes a lot of damage on his first clear, so I'd focus on damage reduction over additional clearing speed. However, if you're shooting for a super-quick clear in order to gank early, and feel like you can do so safely without the enemy jungler invading you, then Gromp's poison might benefit you more. Be warned, though, you'll be dangerously low at the end of your run, and might even have to back out early.
