I am not an expert here, but I would recommend starting with E for the damage reduction, then either maxing W or getting one point in W and maxing E.

Ganks are, unfortunately, probably the weakest point of jungle Malphite (especialy pre-6). The slow from Q is rather cosmetic, so I try to rely rather on red buff / exhaust (if I feel I can sacrifice flash) / my ulti. Generally, he is not a gank bully, but he can still do it correctly.

AP quints are not good idea because your 2 main clearing speels wouldnt proc. Take armor, flat HP or flat damage (or even MS, if you really like them). If you are going to take Mpen reds, max E first, while AS ones go better with maxing W.
