If you're really ahead of your opponents, you can go Vampiric Scepter -> Triforce -> BT. If the matchup is even or you're behind, just aim for a straightforward BT.

Triforce gives you more overall damage in the early levels (up to 10, more or less) than BT if you can proc Triforce's passive consistently along with Lightslinger. BT is a "safer" item.
