Both ways (though I think AP hybrid rather that pure AP would be better). Unlike Graves his AP scalings are not only for balancing. The major difference is that his W amplifies both burst AND AAs which makes him more effective if opponents build resistanses (and, btw, if they build health as well). Straight AD carries are all similar (in general), countered in an absolutely similar way and we already have a bunch of champions that meant to be built like that - he is not supposed to be one of them. That's not mean that you can't build him AD - but I've got an impression that people will rush AD even on a champion with all AP scalings if he is tagged "carry" seeing these scalings as an obstacle.
