Typically I see W maxed first on LeBlanc because it provides you the ability to actually clear your minion waves.

^ basically what Phreak said; maxing W first also cuts your cooldown nearly in half, which (esp with some CDR) makes you very, very hard to catch.

And if you are against someone with bad waveclear?

Even better; LeBlanc being able to clear her waves allows her to roam more effectively; if she's against someone with poor waveclear, that means she has more time to roam if she can shove her wave, since the other mid laner can't effectively shove the wave and take her turret.

I have a question: Should we maximize W first even if we are having trouble with mana?

dont bother playing her, they're removing DFG... she'll be completely useless now.

That's just silly. I haven't bought dfg on LB for a long time, and she functions perfectly well withoUT it. A nice build I like: Morellonomicon > boots of choice > haunting guise > Rabadon/Zhonya's > Void staff whenever they start to build mr

I have been experimenting with both lately and they both work. Q will give u some pretty good poke and when u proc your Q R combo it will do more damage. W will give u wave clear and mobility but starts with a long cooldown and is pretty mana heavy.
