Personally i played sona a lot and i think the best Sona is the ap Sona. With all the spells scaling with AP, AP items like Rod of Ages and Morellonomonicon in mid games after Ardent Censer, make sona much more painful and less mana hungry with the refund passive of these two items.

Many other laners may prefer a pure support build with the lack of understanding of Sona capbilites and skills with AP build, but items like redemption with a 120s cooldown aoe heal could simply be compensated with Sona's W heal and shield in team fights with cooldown at max build at only 6s? In addition without AP build, sona heal is basically so little to be even useful, with Q dealing little damage and practically useless if they are stuck in the long-drawn teamfight.

An AP Sona support could actually be a threat chasing down low hp enemy, and can shine so much better than a Sona with pure support build. In a game without losing too much all these AP could actually deal some serious damage esp in a full ad as enemy will not be building magic resist just for you.

Unless you are so confident in your team carrying you in every single game when you are playing Sona, or else AP Sona build with Ardent Censer is really the way to go in these games.
