The Maxing of Q or E is prioritised by matchup, preferred playstyle and your early game commitment. If u decide to get The Brutaliser first, then maxing Q is more optimal since u not only have 25 AD but also 10 Armor Penetration. If ur gettin the Stinger first, maxing E is the more optimal choice since ur gettin AS and ur focusing heavily on a wave pushing build which also acts as a build option that prevents u from being counterbuilt against.

The former option is most optimal against Fragile Top Laners obviously. Kayle gets an edge when trading against Champions that wanna duel her earlier on. The latter is betr against defensive laners that aren't easily killed in a straight brute force fight. Since Kayle is a natural pusher, being behind in CS by about 10-20 earlier on isn't so crippling and in a sense, losing that much CS earlier on in order to manipulate the creep waves betr is alot more optimal. U remain passive while ur opponent drains his/her resources and options and u are less prone to ganks.

Brutaliser and Stinger are the first 2 items u buy on AD Kayle cos they help her setup by not only gettin the basic essentials, but combined with the Scaling CDR Glyphs and Ionian Boots, she has over 35% CDR, which lets her E come back up within split seconds. You now have enormous early game pressure which builds up into mid AND late game.
