Edit: I went and ran the numbers for this, Arp marks give 15 armor pen. 15 armor is roughly equal to 12.75% reduced damage. Meaning if Olaf does 100 damage swings and has the 9 AD marks his 109 damage attacks are reduced to 95.1025 damage just from that 15 armor. With 15 arp from runes your swings dealing 100 damage will deal that amount in full through 15 armor. This is all simply mathematically based so don't rage on it. This is just me making the point that CondoSylvam is correct in his assumption that all in all Arp marks provide a slight advantage over AD marks that increases as your damage increases. Thank you very much for the insight CondoSylvam. I will change the marks to Arp.
So before asking why, here is the reason:
The Armor Penetration you get by Ragnarok and Starks is good, but you have Starks just in the late game. The Armor Penetration you get makes it much easier to make huge dmg early game, and still later it can grant you 5-10% more dmg.
This is why I always would take ArmorPen instead of AD marks.
