DFG, of the three of them. Lich Bane's extra damage won't be better than Sheen's extra damage until you get more AP, and it's other stats aren't worth the price if you're rushing it. Deathcap has a similar lack of synergy when it's by itself, plus it's even more expensive; Poppy has trouble getting CS in lane because all her spells are single-target. DFG is cheaper, increases your burst with its active rather than piles of AP, plus gives 15% CDR which speeds up the rate you can use your Q.

If you're getting DFG, though, that means you're going AP bursty assassin, so what you should "rush" first is Sheen, then go for the DFG.
