Cinderhulk vs Devourer on Shyvana?

Which would be better on her? They both give her pretty strong damage, I'd imagine, with the former working well enough with her W and the latter with her Q.

I usually built Devourer just because it gave me a more noticeable damage boost (and I could solo the dragon at 6) and then I'd build full tank right after. Will the new item allow me to skip that and go almost entirely the defensive route while still remaining a strong threat to the enemy? Would there be an exception for the other item to end up being better, in your opinion?

I'd say Cinderhulk. It'd still give a damage boost and probably a pretty good one considering Shyvana likely stays in combat for good lengths of time against most opposing champions. And I'd think it'd synergize really well with getting a frozen mallet on her since the extra 25% health from it would mean it'd give a lot of stats, and the slow means you can stick to enemies a lot better which would also mean staying in combat longer for the cinderhulk to get to do more damage. As in, you'd have pretty good offense while still having tons of defense and a permaslow on whoever you're attacking. Seems pretty useful to me. Although I haven't tried it.

Tbh devourer doesn't usually seem worth it except on very good farmers that aren't all that good at much else, like Udyr or that kind of champion.
