Mid
The boots you can CDR boots if you want.
The typical runes I take are 9x armor pen reds 9x flat/scaling armor yellows (mix) 5x MR blues 4x CDR per lvl blues 3x AD quints -he has a pretty poor laning phase against a lot of matchups since his removal of his silence, I suggest starting

Mid, Top lane you'll die.

I build Ghost blade item 3142 first so I can chase down people and move around the map faster, Boots of Mobility item 3117 cause we'll be roaming alot. Now if you're having a tough time in lane and can't roam I would suggest rushing item 3155 it'll keep you alive. item 3074 Hydra is good if you want to quickly push lanes, it's not needed but it is nice.

I always build Guardian Angel item 3026 because Talon is usually right in the middle of the fight and you can't always make it out.

I'm a pretty decent Talon, I poke a lot with W. Normally I'll get a first kill by level 3.

I would suggest never staying still, pretty much like all champs. If you can make them miss any skills you'll have a huge advantage. If you have been poking the enemy, by level 6 you should be able to finish the job.

The champs I have trouble with is Le Blanc, I just wait for her to use that gap closer of hers then you have 20 secs to farm and push.

Diana is also a tough cookie cause she'll build Armor and I won't be able to whittle her down like I can with other champs.

I go with, 9x Armor Pen 9x Flat armor 9x MR scaling and 3ad quints.

Mid, Rush Yommus and Hydra, other items are just preference beyond that, I personally use +20 AD runes for the early game and just for shits and gigs but the best is probably armor penetration. He's strong against skillshot reliant champions as you can E over them to juke people and kill them. He's weak against champions with reveals because his ultimate, which is practically his only escape, has it's utility completley negated.
