It depends on the matchup and your playstyle.

You could check how some pro players are building Olaf and have they skill in certain situations/matchups here.

The problem I'm finding is when you max one, the other becomes really weak until lvl 13 when both are maxed. Rank 1 e has stupidly low base damage and rank 1 q is only a 25% slow.

Yeah, that seems to be one of Olaf's issues. All of his abilities are strong when maxes, but they aren't that useful at rank 1. He doesn't really seem to have a dump ability (i.e. Jax's Counterstrike or Gragas' Bodyslam) which he can leave at rank 1 without it losing effectiveness.

I might be wrong, but I think the general consensus is maxing E for laning and Q for jungling. E is good for trading in laning phase and it doesn't cost mana, letting you stay in lane longer. Q is better for AoE clearing and ganking, but it has a high mana cost when spammed so you usually need blue buff to abuse it.

Max E in most match ups, max Q against ranged champions.

Q for jungle.
