I tend to do the opposite of the above.

If the team is squishey AD Poppy is extremely effective, because her nukes hit hard enough to kill or almost kill them without that much AP then she can finish them off with a few auto attacks.Since most teams are mixed AD Poppy has better utility most of the time, because she can bypass the meat and take out the squish.

Against meatier teams she has a bit more trouble and relies on a bigger nuke, so AP Poppy is more useful. But she is really used as a single target assassin at that point. Their team is based on Amumu? Poppy ults in, DFG, nukes the crap out of him, and then GTFO. Poppy goes for the biggest threat to the team, so if it is their tank, then it's Poppy's job to take out the tank. If it someone else, then Poppy takes them out.

I always advise people not to commit to AP or AD until 20 minutes into the match. Sheen is the basis of both Poppy's so if you start there, you can pretty much see how the game is going before you choose AD or AP.
