Yiruru told me to get flat ap yellows and ap/lvl blues.

The flat : scaling AP ratio is 6 : 1 for both seals and glyphs, makes no sense to take different types unless you have some very specific reason to get X AP at level 1-5.

Well, the ratio is actually something like 5.82 : 1 for glyphs and 5.9 : 1 for seals. So if you want flat AP on either of those, get it on seals. But that (to be precise: less than) 0.08 ratio difference doesn't suddenly make scaling seals worse than flat seals.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

At what level do lvl AP overtake flats? Unless you're playing a champion that's extremely front weighted like Leblanc it seems pretty pointless to use flats unless you're going to play extremely aggressive from level 1-5.

Shouldn't it be obvious from my previous post? 6 : 1 ratio for flat : scaling means that scaling = flat at level 6. And since the ratio is a tiny bit lower than that, scaling is actually better than flat at lvl 6.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

Thanks for the guide. I'm about to hit 20 with 12k IP saved up and I've been wondering what exactly I'm going to prioritize

I just hit level 20 and I'm wondering what I should buy for runes too. I want to make a generic page that will help for every type of character so I'm guessing defense and magic resist first? Armor since I want to try and jungle and it's difficult with Amumu without armor so I guess flat armor is the way to go?

Mpen marks armor seals mr(lvl) glyphs and movespeed or AP quints. AP quints would get a lot more overall use, because they're pretty standard on any caster. A more standard jungle page would have attack speed or armor pen marks, but mumu is a caster jungler.

The choice between scaling and flat mr runes is probably the hardest choice you'll ever make in league of legends.

scaling if u jungle more
flat if u lane more
they're cheap so either way after you get most runepages out if you're interested getting the other set is relatively affordable

Thanks for the great guide, answered a lot of questions and I learned a lot.
Noob question, but if I'm playing an caster, what would be better?
Magic Pen, or Ability Power?

What are the best runes to get for jungle now? Has anything changed?

I was thinking

Yellow: armor flat
blue: magic resist flat
red: increased attack speed flat
Quint: armor penetr

is this still fine?

That's definitely a decent set. I think a lot of people are favouring Arpen Reds and AD quints instead for a standard-ish page these days though.

If you main AP, you should probably get Mana/5/Level Yellows and AP/Level Blues.

I wish I had seen this guide sooner... was just going off some random discussions in general, this sums things up nicely.

Edit: So I have ArPen reds but no quint yet (or Aspeed reds) and I normally play WW or some other jungle. Does it make sense to get ASpeed quint or ArPen?

Useful stuff for starting junglers:

Marks: ArPen and Attack Speed, 3 flat AD marks.
Seals: Flat Armor
Glyphs: Scaling MR
Quints: Flat AD, Flat ArPen, Flat AS.

With those runes you can make jungling pages for most junglers in the game.

MS quints are also wonderful on a lot of junglers, and it ALSO makes clearing faster in fact ^^

You want to hit 12 armor penetration on most junglers. Some top players like Saint use even more armor penetration to make their ganks stronger while slowing down their jungle.

If you aren't running offense tree you'd need 2 arpen marks to go along with those quints to hit the magic number.

mr / level catches up to flat mr at like level 12 or 13 or something
and by that point most junglers who want MR will itemize for MR in some sort or form
junglers like oddone who put themselves at danger at early levels via counterjungling and ganking switched over to flat mr on all pages a while ago i think
flats are all around a lot more versatile though
