Fling if you're expecting a lvl 1 fight to break out, Poison if you're going straight to laning. The Poison is overall a better choice because if you're running ms quints and boots you can hurt the entire enemy team with the Poison at level 1. Most champions can't ignore Poison Trail's damage early on for a prolonged period, especially if you're running a form of magic pen.

Fling however can prove more useful if used correctly at the right place and time.

That choice depends, really. Don't rank a skill immediately at the start of the game, hold on to the point until you can decide which skill you need.
