They can all do very well but if you're new to the game or just new to the class then I'd suggest going Demonology.
Your pet does lots of damage and can tank well enough to keep mobs off you.

Indeed. Playing a Warlock really requires a different approach to playing a Paladin. Personally I prefer to take one mob at a time and kill them fast. This is safe and allows you to work on maximising speed and efficiency as you level rather than survivability.

I just dinged my lock to 85 a couple days ago. I only leveled up with destro and demo. They were fairly balanced in the amount of time it took to kill things. However as getting closer to 60 and all the way up to around 75 I used destro. Immolate then conflagrate would usually be a 2 shot. If not 2 shot then at least incin would finish the job. It wasn't until around 75 where I would be getting off the 3 incinerate to finish the kill. So I switched to demo and Hand of gul would pretty much knock them out.
So that was my experience, just remember stay geared for your level and make sure you have the power glyphs. They help so much especially for leveling.

That's not true with the recent buff to Haunt, I can get healed for 1.5k (2x if crit) every 8 secs-ish if I use it on cooldown. In fact, it's even easier to dot multiple mobs at the same time than before 69. But it's true taht once you get in the BC areas, mobs start hitting a lot harder, and you'll have to dot 2 mobs at once only, or you can die quickly.

I've tried leveling as demonology but I keep coming back to affliction. Why? Because its robust, even with the recent nerfs to self healing. Starting out can be tedious, but of you stick it out the results can be very rewarding, much like a shadow priest if you've had that experience.
Tips:
Get
Glyph of Soul Swap
Use your felhunter for leveling. It can generally keep aggro, even with the crazy high numbers flying around.
Practice a dot, dot, dot, tab technique, and stay on the move till you need to Drain your health back to full
If you still have trouble staying alive, your voidwalker's bubble could prove more helpful then the demon puppy's extra damage.
Good luck and happy soul hunting, no matter which spec you choose.
