The best Thing you can have is having a Main specialised in tier 2-3 units (Laszlo, Dougal, Gilraen) and then get Ossir in your Tavern. I got Ossir once when playing Lazslo. Easiest creeping ever.
Ossir deserves a vote at least (I already voted though, picked Vittiorio)
I don't agree unit specialists are only good if used in their native town. Ofcourse I'll take Ossir in any town at the start just for the extra hunters, but most probably he'll end up gathering ressources with ressourcefullness for me. No the best heroes are the ones that can pack a punch on their own, either with starting army, war machines or spells regardless of the town they pop in.

I started Creeping with Vayshan and Kythra yesterday; Both are exquisite. (I believe than Sinitars is great, but his lack of Spellpoints sucks) Havez is great too, but would have been better if he had Ballista instead of Advanced War Machines (I got Ballista only after six level-ups)
I'll try to creep with Sinitar and Lazslo today. Wish me luck

There is one Walock you all forget about.... 
Lethos... his speciality is just freakin Awesome (against most enemies)
....(ehh what speciality... mass decays at the start of the battle...)

my pick is Deleb I love the ballista every time I'm the inferno I am her I have won battles because of my ballista its like having another extreamly powerfull ranged unit that no one attacks when its fully upgraded.

In my opinion:
Haven: Rutger, Klaus. Eventually Vittorio.
Inferno: Many good heroes. Best are Grok and Deleb but Marbas, Nymus or Nebiros are good choices too.
Necropolis: I would vote for Kaspar or Deirdre.
Sylvan: Vinrael only.
Dungeon: Sinitar's the only one.
Academy: Jhora or Galib/Nur.
Fortress: Helmar kicks ass.
Stronghold: I would go with Gorshak or Urghat but Shak'kakurat is also a good choice.

maybe haggash. it seemed to me that centaurs are the best unit in early game. (considering their strength, and their number)

Very possible, if you get tent/ballista early you are almost unstoppable.

Opinion (boring?)
Haven: Irina is no longer the uber starting hero, Vittorio and Dougal are best. Great vs ranged and not ranged neutrals with their non-magical ranged force the enemy will not reach them in most battles. If you pick the right skills they are pretty fast also (for Haven heroes).
Inferno: No idea I sucks with Inferno.
Necropolis: Vlad is nice hero but not the best one for creeping (you need 5 levels for his spec.), so no longer, Naadir... I still consider him as not the best one, and still I vote Kasper, since he can use Raise Dead 3 times per turn and he always come out of battle with more troops.
Sylvan: Ossir for me, and also almost every other sylvan hero  I consider Ossir as the best one - useful skills, nice spec and etc... too bad only the weak Sylvs are able to reach the last IMBA luck skill... (without the memory guy).
Dungeon: Sinitar or even Lethos. Lethos will help a lot with his potion ability vs neutrals, but Sinitar start with better skills and better spec. for later...
Academy: Nur for this. I'm not typical Academy players but I pick Nur and I use her like a warlock in early came .
Fortress: I like Brand, in early game you need resources. One of the best ideas is to spend some and use runes for free (through Fine Rune )
Stronghold: Kragh with all his stunning/hitting abilities is the best hero.

When was Irina an uber creeper? At best she could send regular griffins on suicide missions against ranged on week 2. Suppose you dive one stack only to land within striking distance of two hunter stacks, you'd rather you hadn't. The only way for haven to creep fast are warmachines and a combination of divine guidance, empathy, mass haste/divine strength which is still vulnerable to other ranged units.

Second and improved post creeping review
Haven: Vittorio is great early game.
Inferno: Grok. Cheap and easy Teleport. The only hero that makes Horned Demons kinda usefull
Sylvan: Ossir, extra Hunters + Luck is powerfull early
Academy: Havez, same reasons as Ossir
Necropolis: Kaspar is very good, but kinda suck in the end. I'll go for Naadir.
Stronghold: Only Haggash can be VERY powerfull early-game. Telsek is good, but Haggash remains powerfull for a very long time.
Dungeon: Three top contestantd IMO: Sinitar, Yrwanna and Vayshan. The latter one has my preference
Fortress: I don't play fortress much, but I'll go with Ebba.

I think Nur is a very newb-friendly hero. She starts with eldritch arrow and recovers mana by herself, so you can get a bit of gremlins and gargs & quickly clear out the mines around while building up your mage guilds. The mana recovery becomes less important later on due to godly knowledge of the wizards, though. It can still make it possible to cast phoenix at every creep you meet (your mana will regenerate in between the rounds..). I wouldn't use her on maps where Eldritch wells happen every three steps.

Well, I voted for Kaspar, i like plague tent ability. But, I like to start my game with Narxes (u always get one mage) + Intelligence, or with Lethos, decaying enemies without spending mana.

i dont know about creeping capabilities but urghat is great for longer games.. or even shorter ones... early logs plus her specialty means INSANE movement.. which more than makes up for her lack of power to start off... get war machines early... atk comes easily for barbarians.. and hello amazing hero
EDIT: i forgot to mention... barbarians can get pathfinding + warpath + snatch... which is again.. INSANE for movement
