with a starting gold of 4k in a 1v1 dota match, i would say Ursa warrior is still far better. The starting item would be Vanguard, Phase Boots, with Vladimir Offering. With these items, it is enough to dominate.
ursa is good, but remember the enemy has 4k gold too.
1 blademail will surely own ursa.
we cant definitely say which hero is good 1v1. it also depends, to a huge extent, who your opponent is.
just by picking from the list of heroes you gave for 1v1, ursa, tb, huskar and naix will be good. even though some of these heroes maybe melee, they are definitely a pawnage hero against those noob spammers earlygame intel-based heroes.
however, plz do not ever EVER use dwarven sniper for 1v1 or even 5v5 mode. it's a trash hero and should be deleted in my opinion.
