I usually get Doran's Ring because of the mana regen (helps in lane since I do use my skills regularly during laning phase, though not to the point where I exhaust my mana pool) and the health boost (of course). I have used Doran's Shield before on Cho'Gath. Depends on early-game situation.
Oh, and Wriggles/Madreds Razor on jungle Rammus is amazing. Lifesteal proc every time I attack (with Wriggles), and makes jungling so much easier. Though I need to find time to learn how to jungle with him effectively; I still have problems that needs to be smoothed out.
If you're going regen on Cho'Gath, rather than Doran's Shield, pick up a Regrowth pendant. You'll use it either to build warmogs late game, or FoN mid to late game depending on their team comp. Or if you won't need either of those, as there are times where neither suit a game, you can turn it into a Philo stone early on for some sweet gold per 5 and decent hp and mp regen.

Those Tyrns probably have very specific rune/mastery set up so they already have a nice amount of Crit chance at level 1. I dunno if I'd be willing to risk it, but there are some who prefer not to use the early gold immediately. It's also possible they just plain forgot to buy an item, and only realized later on, so they went with their normal build anyway. Or it's also possible they're following the terrible stack avarice blade build that some like to do. Which it's not a bad decision if the game lasts a long time, but it pretty much screws him out of getting other items that are more helpful to him. I dunno, I would say it's best to spend the gold you have asap so that you don't waste time going back to town, and it's not like they couldn't pick up a brawlers glove first, then get boots + avarice blade on their first trip back.
