^I think you got it the other way around. AD Poppy's job is to ult the weakest enemy and destroy everyone else, therefore she basically functions as a standard carry, and thus only truly shines mid-late game when she has most of her DPS items. AP Poppy's job is to ult and burst down the most important enemy target, and then back off immediately to wait for her cooldowns. She becomes strong with only her ult and DFG + Sheen/Lichbane, which are much cheaper than the DPS items of Triforce/PD/IE/BT etc. Which means she's more consistent throughout the game, but loses out on end game damage against an AD Poppy. Your choice, I personally prefer AP since it doesn't take as much farm to get rolling.
