I use Talonflame as a bit of a throw away glass cannon/utility 'mon, so I've made the Choice Band work. There's always been something on my teams that need Life Orb a little more, so it's always been stuck with Choice Band. But the way I use Talonflame Focus Sash would be optimal.
If I need Quick Guard or Tailwind first, then I use it and don't care if they faint Talonflame or not. If it survive I'll either go for another quick guard (most of the time they seem to think you're gonna switch out) and if I use Tailwind I always switch out.
