Thanks for all of the suggestions / thoughts guys, keep em coming!
Something's I've narrowed down:
It's definitely gonna have to be someone with a fairly quick jungle clear time, and decent pushing capability. My planned route for top early game potential is going to be.
- Push lane hard -> their wraiths -> my wraiths -> golems or wolves -> back to lane to push.
...I'm thinking of possibly even throwing my first tower to give me more farm room / jungle time early. I really want the gold / xp advantage come mid game.
LB sounds like a super-strong pick, but she'd have to remain in lane early.
-I know one of my summoner spells will be reserved for smite...
So the champ needs jungling capability, survivability, an escape mechanism, decent laning phase, and good damage.

You gotta counterpick.
If it's not draft, then pick champs who can pressure, push lanes well, and do good in engagements.
I can give you some tips on some champs I know about 1v1s.
Cass has insanely strong level one and two engagements. You will want to be pushing and harassing like mad early levels. Can solo blue like a boss.
Leblanc has insanely strong burst, you want to hold off until 6 and then just go crazy.
Kass has a weak as **** early, but with his silence, you'll win so many other caster picks.
Ryze has strong laning power and engaging powers.
Galio is so strong against casters. He pushes well, sustains well, and counters casters.
There was a 1v1 competition at SoloMid.NET go check the videos out I'm sure they'll help.
@AD carries:
I don't think AD carries are good picks at all tbh.

For god's sake don't do this lol. Ignite + Flash in a 1v1, always. I see no possible need for Smite.

Heal Ignite
o_o
Heal gud too. Ignite counters it somewhat though. I would never go without Flash on anything but it might work if your champion has gapclosers.

WW would be a close call, however his CD on his ult is 40 shorter
And I don't know if tryn can remove the stun with his ult.
Anyway a good item to but in a 1v1 when the enemy has hard CC is a
