I have been leveling my warlock almost entirely via PvP(with the occasional quest between Qs, he is 65 now). What I would suggest is at lower levels, especially with heirlooms providing a good spellpower base, going affliction. Your dots will tick pretty hard and pesky classes like rogues dont have Cloak of Shadows to clear them yet.
Once you get to 60, I would go either Demo or Destro. Both are very effective. I am currently 65 running a demo build and I dont have alot of problems with any equal geared class. Usually a Hand of Guldan and a felstorm will drop them. If not, then soulburn and insta soulfire will finish them off.
But destro is also very viable in the 60s. You can kite alot of classes useing shadowfury and aftermath. Also, conflag hits pretty hard at that level.
It really comes down to a question of playstyle. I would go with what you feel the most comfortable with. I enjoy demo, its burst and its survivability. But you might like destro better. Just my 2cents.

From both Warlock and Sub Rogue PoV, go Demo or you may as well not show yourself. Low level Affliction is joke, you have no self healing (everything dies to burst, Siphon Life won't help at all) and Immolate does similar damage to Unstable Affliction anyway. I haven't seen many Destruction locks, but I doubt it's playable since you will be outbursted without problem by Hunters.
Good geared Demo locks are so far only thing that can stop Sub rogue (and other burst classes) making you a new hole, the 4 second/30cd Felguard stun is godly, and there is not many ways to stop it (5 min Trinket/Human racial/Bubble and that's about it). Later you get Felstorm so your minion can solo players (at least it did before the 20% nerf).
If you want to try other spec, I would wait for level 70, so you can get full Brutal set, with truckloads of stamina and resi Affliction may be worth trying.
And btw, throw Bane of Doom on rogues if you are going to die, unless Dispelled it prevents stealth for 60 seconds, worse than Hunter mark.
