It depends a lot on the jungler. Some junglers are more creep dependent than others. Though all are at least somewhat creep dependent because of the disparity in gold/XP value between different camps.

Every time my first medium camp stack as Axe is Centaurs+Wolves, I want to throw my keyboard and ragequit. 2/25 chance of instantly losing the game (or at least having a really shitty time).

It's more of a personal preference thing.. obviously if you think you will just be left farming undisturbed, get the swords for bonus damage in case you see an opportunity to push lane and take a tower.. however if you're expecting ganks or a bit of fighting, get Perseverance first for the mana regen after having to Blink a few times or using your Ult.
Not really "math", just your own judgment.

how do you guys think meepo should behave in teamfights? So far I have simply avoided every single fight that consists of 4 or more heroes fighting 4 allies, so I've been doing pushes instead. I usually have a reaver, aghanim and tranquil when my team starts missing me on teamfights, but I always feel like I'm gonna get stunned and zapped to death, which many times I do

If you don't have another big initiator on your team, get blink and start the fight when you see the other team in a bad position with net and poof. You can do enough damage to take a couple heroes out of the fight when you have aghs and level 16, making it a lot less scary for you. If you do, wait for them to start and get focused, then follow up with a good net and mass poof into just smacking whoever needs to die. Especially with reaver you're not going to get nuked to death too hard at that point so play ballsy and start the teamfights in a good way for your team.

Not entirely, but it's definitely a big factor. Damned hellbears destroying hopes and dreams.

I jungle mostly with enchant & chen, damn the fucking mud shit! Specially with Chen, as I'm not very good with him, how can you gang without ursas, trolls or centaur if the lane does not have good cc? Also as Chen I never gank the offlane as it seems so far away, should I try to smoke?

Well if you get Wildkins or Satyrs you just get 6 minute level 6 and Mek by 10 mins because they both farm stupid fast lol.

meepo, the trick is to come in when a single enemy is at 1/5th of their HP and poof all of your meepos to ensure the kill, your teammates will be very "amused" /sarcasm_enabled

Yes, trolls are fantastic; skeletons for taking extra tower hits/tanking in jungle, net for ganks. They're pretty great.

For wildkins you recommend to stack one camp & tornade it? I often do this if I'm close to stack moment but I don't know if it's optimal. Thank you for the help. I managed to pull some very early meks but it means I skip mana boots & if the team does not wwant to group & abuse it I often feel like I should have gone mana boots before mek. But yeah if they come to push it's all outer towers down before min 15 + rosh :D

Satyrs are fantastic gankers early on. Shockwave is a 125 damage, 800 range, 8s cd spell and since the bastards can dive the tower you will always get a second wave off. If you get double Hellcallers in the beginning as Enchantress you're sitting on 500dmg worth of nuking power on lvl 1. That's insane.

Besides the fact that I don't think Axe is a very good jungler, aren't wolves one of the best camps he can get early?

Satyrs are totally the best camp

Although I don't know the math, wolves do quite a bit of damage, so I find that quite unlikely when compared to the Satyrs or Ogres.

Yeah I understand that they can hurt him rather bad, but wolves arent very tanky, and it's a stack of three creeps, which is far easier for axe than Centaurs for example.

Yes, they are easier than Centaurs, but they are still the second hardest medium creep camp.

The thing with axe is that you go double stout shield jungle, and most creeps do no damage to you 84% of the time. However, wolf aura and crits breaks that margin, so you actually take damage.

http://www.dota2wiki.com/wiki/Creeps
Yeah big centaur does 49-55 (30 damage 84%). Wolf does 30-33 + crit + aura
Ogres, satyr mana burner do 24-27 (So 4-7 damage 84% of the time)
Golems do 29-33 (9-13 damage 84%).
So centaurs do like 6x as much damage as most creeps.
