Although both of these builds are extremely strong, I personally favor 13/6/1; having 8+ levels of rogue grants Improved Uncanny Dodge, which can boost your dodge to over 90% at even heroics (with a decent reaper point investment to meet dodge cap), which is invaluable when fighting most types of champions or a bad pull of reapers. You also receive 3 more sneak dice and a longer Shiv duration, which allows you to relay a greater amount of sneak damage over a longer period of time to red-named bosses. On top of this, you can utilize Opportunist (more fortification bypass and doublestrike, extremely effective versus undead, especially as a rogue) and Defensive Roll, which helps you avoid irritating one-shots, or allows you to (usually) take one more hit at low health before you die. You do lose movement speed and abundant step; an optional investment into Thief Acrobat T5s offsets a good amount of this, with additional dodge cap and defensive benefits - at the loss of a lot of melee power and special attacks, should you prize survivability of that caliber over a bit more dps.

The difference between the two comes mostly down to utility; since my personal preference is efficient versatility that compliments your character's aptitude in extremely dangerous situations, I'd ultimately recommend 13/6/1 - but neither of these splits are a wrong choice.
