Convince Me of Your Early Game Jungler

I usually just farm jungle camps to level 6, so I think the best way for me to improve is to play a jungler which forces me to play aggressive early, make ganks, kill the enemy jungler, take enemy camps, take dragon and rift herald, and win first blood and first tower. I'm thinking about Elise, Lee Sin, Shaco, and Nidalee mostly; convince me which one to play or another great early game jungler.

I came to the wrong thread. When I'm left with jungle, I just play top support with Relic Shield. The whole concept of jungle being a role has always kinda bugged me. That said, of those options, Lee Sin seems to consistently do the best in the early game based on their appearance in my games.

Shaco usually waits for 6, Nidalee tends to like to farm, and Elise I rarely see at all. In theory...

Nidalee, if you're good with her spear. She can chase down kills in lane pretty well if you land it. She's also extremely elusive when counterjungling.
Elise, because she can do % health damage, making her pretty effective right from the start.
Shaco. The penultimate counterjungler. His ganking ability isn't amazing early on, though.
Lee Sin, at the bottom simply because he's well-rounded in what he can do early on. He ganks, counterjungles and grabs objectives pretty well in the early game, but doesn't do any of them exceptionally until later on.

I'd say lee is a good bet because you are strong early but can still make picks for your team lategame, where for example elise has a ridiculously strong early game but lategame falls off way harder because her main CC (cocoon) can be bodyblocked by enemy tanks.
