I personally recommend R>E>Q>W if you are laning vs a ranged opponent and R>E>W>Q if you are laning against a melee champ AND you will be laning for a long time. Prioritize ult for obvious reasons. E is maxed at level 9 because leveling it first increases cc duration and it does the most damage per level. I usually go Q next to maximize the damage done from Sheen/Trinity Force, and W comes last as I pick up an attack speed item later in the game. Oh but make sure you get a point in W early on (level 2 or 3 or 4) so you can gain back life during the laning phase simply by lasthitting.
