In runes, AX reds are generally always better for fighting than AD reds, but AD is better for lasthitting. Even so, when I switched from AD to AX, I didn't notice a huge difference. In game, the two main penetration items are leetstick and LW (BC is rare buy), but LW is impractical to build early, and leetstick is core early anyway for CDR, along with its other stats. So considering AX vs AD isn't all that important imo. you will be getting lots of AD right after brutalizer anyway.

second, long sword is a great start too. It gives you the damage of a dorans blade but builds into vamp scepter/brutalizer, and allows you to start with pots. In many cases I think it is better than the d blade start.

Also, a great way to leash your jungler is to start charging q's at ~1:47 (doesn't really matter when as long as it's before ~1:50 and after ~1:43), hold each q charge for almost 4 secs (watch the tooltip to make sure it doesn't run out), then do the next q charge, and the buff should spawn in time for you to use the last q charge on it, then use three passive empowered autos. the q will come off cd in time for you to use it to come back to lane. It helps the jungler quite a bit, without costing you anything.
