Which summoner's should I take as Ezreal?

I see a lot of people go Ignite|Exhaust/Flash, but I found myself rarely using Flash to escape (since Arcane Shift alone is awesome), and when I had to use it, it was because I got caught in a very bad position and died anyways. Sure you can do some amazing plays with a double blink, but Flash cooldown is really high, I don't think it is really worth it.

Long ago, I used to go Ignite/Exhaust since at low levels it would almost guarantee a FB on players that weren't familiar with Ez burst at level 3, but I dropped it since most people won't overextend and as an AD Carry, people expect me to go bot with a support.

So now I almost always go Ignite/Heal, since with those two and proper play, you can 1vs1 any other AD Carry mid game, even if you're behind in gold. Also, you can pull off really nice tower dives with your jungler's help, since its very common to zone out opponents in lane, and it lets your support take Exhaust or Flash in addition to CV. I also take Cleanse over Ignite sometimes if the enemy has a lot of hard cc, but i think Ignite is better overall for early game burst and a QSS is a really good alternative on a much lower cooldown.

Sorry for the wall of text, but I would like to read Rapacious, PrasH, and Interceptor's opinions on this, since they seem to have a lot of experience on playing Ez.
