I'm a big fan of maxing W for reduced cooldown alone. That and I find myself going into early teamfights usually (queuing with my clan so we're confident in forcing team fights).

That said, it still depends on the enemy champion I'm facing. Let's say it's Riven and I'm going top as an anti-melee counter. W is a lot more risky to fail against her since she can switch positions so fast. Q is much better as long as she's slowed by the tether and with immediate damage dealt as opposed to hit-or-miss W.
