Shen - Devourer or Cinderhulk?

Shen received a ton of buffs as well as indirect buffs (jungle items having enormous synergy with him) and I'm ready to play him in the jungle. However, Shen is meant to be a tank, and HP increases the damage of his KI strike. Cinderhulk makes him a huge hp tank also capable of dealing some decent damage with Ki strike. On the other hand, his main damage output is on hit from items, and sated devourer works well with those and also procs his Ki Strike faster.

That being said, I'm having a very tough time figuring out what to choose. It seems like going devourer + bork then tank makes his lategame better but it also means going 15+ minutes without a real tank on your team (assuming Shen is the only/main tank).

What do you think is better and why?

Shen's more like a fighter anyway; while he can function building full tank, he can access both defense and offense for when the moment calls for i.

Depending on your play style, Shen's going to get a lot more mileage out of Devourer anyway, so my vote is there if your team does not need the early game bulkiness.
