Armor pen vs flat AD runes

When is it a better idea to take one over the other? Would flat AD be better on ADCs? Which would be better on fighters in general?

Armor pen. used to be good when old Doran's Shield give armors and Cloth/5 pots was a thing.

I think it's standard for an adc to take apen reds, armor yellows, as blues, and ad quints.

Not for me as Armor Pen only works against tanks mostly. Even then a item 3035 is more than likely enough unless you're against like 300+ armor tanks although I run Vayne who has so many ways around it. Personally I'd go with what I stated in my comment : AD Marks (reds) and AS Quints (purples), with the usual Armor Seals (Yellows) , and Magic Resist Glyphs (blues).

I take AD Marks (Reds) , Attack Speed Quints (Purple), Armor Seals (Yellows), and Magic Resistance (best choice imo), Armor, or CDR Glyphs(Blues) and they work fine for me. Armor Penetration is only good against tanks, and even then you'll most likely just build a item 3035.
