There is no point in taking SB on blink innitiators, even the less common ones that pick it more as a luxury rather than core, since they usually need to innitiate into enemy LoS, where SB just doesnt cut it, which is pretty much all pushes, either they are under tower or the other team sets up ward(s), while SB is great for map presence and ganking, with the added benefits of extra speed or avoiding enemy wards. both have their strenghts, SB is likely overall more "useful" item, whereas blink is more for some clutch and/or flashy play.
