Renekton or Trundle?
I love bruiser, tanky top laners like Shyvana and Mundo. I got 4800IP and cannot decide who to get. Who should I get or do you have another suggestion?

Trundle is great if you take the time to learn him. He's not a champion you're just going to pick up in 2-3 games.
In my arrogant opinion, Trundle will win you more games than Renekton will because not only does he scale better but his build-pathing is also more flexible. He has one of the best ults in the game and his Pillar is super utility no matter how behind he is (provides vision, slows, and stops channeled abilities). Also, Trundle falling off late game is BS. He's one of the stronger bruisers late game (40 AD steroid, 80% AS steroid, increased healing/regen/lifesteal, and an ult that steals resistances all on relatively short CDs).
Sure he has a weakness against kiting, and most mages in general, but you can build around that.
Pros -Great Duelist -Good Sustain -Decent damage even when built really tanky -Scales well into late game -Has utility AND damage
Cons -Weak early game (particularly pre-6) -Prone to kiting
Irelia, Riven, or Renekton if you want a 4,800 IP bruiser. Trundle doesn't really fit in the meta right now, easily kited and although he has great dueling potential, he has very poor chasing potential.
neither, buy Fizz and win. JK, I think that both of them are kinda UP at the moment, and to me Trundle falls off SO HARD it's not even worth it. The only thing going for Renek is his stun...which isn't even that good. Pick someone else, there are many more interesting champs than the ones you listed.
Trundle is fun. Renekton is boring.
Even though a good Renekton is nearly unstoppable, I generally go for Trundle for the entertainment.
