Thunderlord and Grasp are the way to go. Thunderlord when you just really want to crush your lane (and planning to build actual flat AD), Grasp when you just want to play it safer and need the free sustain (which is really easy to proc on the spirits).

Generally I recommend Thunderlord for midlane, because you'll be maxing Q sooner and Grasp for toplane, when you'll probably be rushing Sunfire and need the extra sustain.
