It's not a one-is-better-than-the-other thing. You can mathcraft the comparison all you want, but it will ultimately come down to preference. There are also divergent builds that work off of RoA + Archangel's and Manamune + Sheen.
Regardless, AA/Manamune should be the absolute last thing you're buying on Ryze's core anyway. The extra damage to towers is more valuable than the extra damage to champs by the time you're finishing either of those items.
Q > R > Q > W >Q > E > Q leaves you with about 3 seconds until your next Q > W > Q assuming you have ~30% CDR (Frozen Heart + masteries).

That said, in my perspective, despite his E (the only ability I know of with an AP ratio) being weaker, we have to account for the bounces when considering its damage. That said, I've generally gotten Manamune but constantly question myself between the two.
