Rengar imo. Although they play different roles. Rek'Sai's map presence is arguably the best in the game. She can be anywhere, she can flank from unexpected angles, and she can travel across the map immediately. Plus, she provides excellent vision control, able to spot even stealthed champions with tremor sense. And she is very good at objective control, as she can borrow in at the last moment to steal buffs, dragons, barons, etc.

Rengar on the other hand is more personal. He is a predator. While he cannot create the same global pressure as Rek'Sai, the fear he can instill in a single target is seconds to none. They will be just merrily minding their own business, when a little exclamation mark appears above them. They panic. And once Rengar latches onto a target it is very difficult to get him off. He has a slow, he has a root, he has great single target damage, and he has a leap. He is the man (or cat) that can eliminate the enemy ADC right before a teamfight, and tilt the fight in his teams favor. Plus, while stealthed he reveals all other stealthed targets.

Summery: Rek'Sai if you want global pressure and excellent utility. Rengar if you want to eliminate single key targets.

Rek'sai has a stronger engage, but Rengar with his W can become a brick in teamfights, the way Rengar's W works is that at rank 5, when he roars he gets 30 extra armor and magic resist, and then an additional 15 armor and magic resist for every enemy champion or large monster caught in the roar, so he can get about 105 armor and magic resist for 4 seconds if he roars on all 5 enemy champions, making him a tough engage champ. Although his Q is an auto-attack, flat damage, armor pen and CDR are better for you then trying to stack on-hit effects.

Rek'sai doesn't have any form of defensive buff of her own, but good damage when fed, and scales well with defensive items, not to mention her AoE knock-up, making her engage very disruptive, great for catching others out or just starting teamfights.

Warwick has good pushing potential with his E, and is very sticky, his ult is a wonderful way to peel or start fights if you're tanky enough, no defensive buffs on him either, but your sustain should make up for that, he's also a nasty duelist when ahead, and can shred most targets easily in a 1v1.

Rengar's downside, much like WW's is that he doesn't have an actual escape,(After using ult.) making him a prime target in teamfights, so consider some defensive items or a GA to stack with your W, and you should be fine. Rek'sai is handicapped in tunnel form due to the reduced vision, so try to spam out Q and wards, and play safer in general.

Rengar has hard time clearing the first time and ganking compared to Reksai. His early pressure is bad. And if he tries to gank and fails, he is delaying his lvl 6 gank... If the lvl 6 gank fails, Rengar is just useless until the next time his ult is up. He is snowball reliant and useless vs coordinated teams who use pink wards and will stun him, if he tries to engage.
