Don't forget the passive W resistances bonus.

I max W most of the time if I want my carry to farm in peace until lategame (works great with weak earlygme ADC's that grow into lategame hypercarries: Tristana, Ashe, ...)

I max Q first if I am laning with an ADC with a strong earlygame that can win most 2vs2 skirmishes with my Q (+ AA with passive) burst damage (Draven, Quinn, ...)

some earlygame ADC's have a great synergy with a maxed W because the heal + resistances buff let my ADC use AA for a longer time (good for ADC's that get outbursted by the enemey bot lane while your ADC has a higher DPS potential > ADC's with strong AS boosts, for example)

but everything is dependent on the situation ...the enemey picked Varus who maxes Q and Nida is supporting while throwing spears 24/7? - E is nice for dodging skillshots

Q/W have both pro's and con's, so the decision is up to you! What do you like the most? - However: I recommend to max W if your lane fall behind so that your ADC can get all last hits without being in danger because of low health points.
