I play AP Nidalee exclusively, but proboably because I've never played AD bruiser Nidalee and I'm pretty terrible at bruisers. Now I think one of the best advantages Nidalee has is her versatility. As you mentioned she can fit into any role minus the jungle(she can jungle but she won't be as effective as others like Udyr or Amu) Calling out one of the roles as being the best isn't always correct. Sure you, me, some other AP Nidalee players can say that she's best on AP, but some bruiser players might think AD Nidalee is much better. It's all the matter of opinion. Now you mentioned how much damage her spells do if she's AP. Now look at this: Spear can be dodged. Pounce requires a squishy AP champion to jump into melee range, you should see the problem I think. Now as for AD Nidalee she's more reilable since her main damage source isn't her unreliable skillshot. She does sustained damage and has a good execution skill(Takedown) also doesn't do too bad in melee range as she's generally tanky if AD. I won't argue which one is best but I think both are good in their own ways. You also stated you play her as an AP, have you ever tried playing her as an AD bruiser for an excessive time? Maybe if you did you could compare instead of shouting out which one is better. Don't take it as a bad thing though, I have yet to test AD bruiser Nidalee, but I'm not willing to since I enjoy playing her as an AP.
