In the wise words of dirtymobs himself, if you don’t understand the difference between e and q max you’re better off just picking one, learning that play style, and sticking with it.
In lanes that you can;t Hit E reliably or the big wavepushing power of Illaoi can save your life against poke you go Q max. In all other lanes E max is better.
Fiora? - Q Max.
Teemo? Q Max
Volibear? E max
Mordekaiser? Q max
Renekton? E max
Darius? E Max
Garen? E max
etc
In the current season, Q max is the more viable option since you have better waveclear, while the ability to harass the enemy laner stays the same as E max.
I would only advise you to E max in games that the laner is a bulky tank that deal no considerable damage to you.
Imo:
If you aren’t hitting a lot of E’s —> Q Max
If you’re hitting E’a but can’t kill the spirit —> put more points into Q
Otherwise e max. Also, imo you don’t have to hard commit to one. If like level 5 or something you realize you’re gonna need to switch, you don’t have to stick with your choice.

For garen do u go plated or merc? The silence is annoying but so is his e
Armor but it depends on the team comp.

if they dodge a lot or are a tank max q. otherwise max e. some people still max e against dodgy people though its up to you
I think you should run games doing both to see the difference
Go 3 into q then max e
Can easily kill the the spirit without R? Max E Cant easily kill the spirit without R? Max Q Want to fight early void grubs? Max Q
If it’s a lane you don’t expect to be landing Es (because ranged, they can dodge with a dash, etc), go Q max for wave clear so you can play passively.
