I must be pretty fortunate being mainly a Garen player, having never fought Rengar as a squishy. Rengar's damage wrecks but it seems Garen is one of the few top laners who can actively face off vs Rengar whilst absorbing enough damage to strike back. Granted, Rengar still hurt like a beast and he even managed to get first blood due to my lack of bush control (I concluded this would be the case until later).

Later I simply allowed him to push the lane from level 2 onward and let his patience run out so he would eventually jump me. As soon as he jumps I would hit my W, Q and E. Having build boots and cloth armour early, I was able to trade significantly in my favour and thus Rengar was evidently shut down. Not to mention when we both eventually hit level 6, my Ultimate obliterated him just as he used his own to escape. What seems to work, if Garen is anything to go by, are melee bruisers like the aftermentioned Demacian, Darius or even Jayce due to his knockback and ranged abilities.

However, as a means of the reverse argument, I always get one of my LoL buddies to go Rengar as jungle...simply because of his insane ability to assasinate (Read:Obliterate) the enemy AD carry, gutting a lot of their damage in a second. Vs squishies there is no doubt his Q and burst are extreme. However vs bruisers, even in the insane levels of scaling in Dominion, Rengar tends to have a tough enough time, at least to the level bruisers can trade remarkably well with him.
