As Hecarim:

Top Lane: Unless enemy jungler babysits top all day long, you cant loose hard, but its not that (Riven?) easy to win it that hard. Very similar to Galio on mid - safe pick if you want to be sure "there will be no major problems". Just max your W (yes, W, maxing Q as first on top makes you loose hard). Play as sustain champ (like Warwick), and it will be OK.

Jungle: first round (blue -> red -> base path) is a bit below avarage in terms of speed and sustain, but after that he gruadually speeds up. Ganking mid or top is quite easy (from certain point you can even rush [E + boots] over warded area and catch enemy without being noticed soon enough), his burst from E + knockback is usually enough to ensure kill. Ganks on bot are harder though, unless your line initiates and soaks CC/attention, you will usually get stunned/pushed away, what not only stops you for certain amout of time, but will also waste your spike damage and main CC from E.

My experience: top lane better if you want to be sure you will be useable in mid/lategame, jungle better if you can risk falling behind due to lack of successful ganks (pushing teammates or so).
