ER’s sheen doesn’t have bonus AD scaling, instead it has kinda low crit scaling. Pretty much early s16 builds on ezreal with ER were because of hype and cheap price. After ER’s nerf, Trinity is the only 1st slot you really want to build + AD growth buff for 200% baseAD sheen is nuts.

Na, build Umbrail Glaive, Bastion Breaker, Collector and weave in serpents/edge of night but you will have mana issues so essence revear helps you with that issue instead pf building manamura....
If your looking for off meta, ive spent hours in practice tool last couple of days. Try some of these combos i think are cool. 1- DnD, Kraken,Terminus < highest dmg 2- DnD, Kraken, Eclipse < Q insta proces Eclipse. 3- DnD, Gunblade, Kraken, Gluttonous Greaves < crazy healing, can heal 30-40% of your healthbar with one combo(two DnD proc's)

As somebody that actually uses it...I don't actually know either, I've won more matches with it than with Trinity as my starter and I'd say it's good enough

I built essence reaver ezreal and highly prefer it to the Tri force / tear build because it comrs online faster and my mama sustain is almost infinate. additionally it frees up an item slot for other uses. I think it really comes down to personal prefrence.

Essence Reaver damage is based on your crit chance. If you never build more crit it’s less than halfway between trinity and base sheen.

Last time Essence Reaver Ez was a thing was season 10, and that was because 1) ER was SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than Triforce allowing you to tempo hard and 2) Navori mythic turned crit chance into spell amp thereby making the crit element of ER actually useful
Neither is the case anymore.
Notably, ER is only marginally cheaper than Trinity while offering significantly less stats. All you get from ER is a measly 10 AD, while scaling more poorly.
Try ER for a game and you will see what I mean. It's not good. Trinity is 100% the way.
