Pantheon has GREAT harass in lane. Xin Zhao has a really good early game (that is, 1v1), but if he lanes, he doesn't have any method of escape OR reliable hard CC (I mean, you can three-talon strike someone but that takes 3 auto-attacks) pre or post-level 6, which differentiates him from current top laners like Irelia (Equilibrium Strike), Akali (Twilight Shroud), etc.

Xin is obviously a better jungler because Pantheon doesn't have any sustain, but I think overall Pantheon is a better pick. There are much better junglers than Xin, and much better laners than Xin.
