The original Budda, sought ways to be good and find peace. He didn't know the way to God for it wasn't made for him yet. But I am sure the original Budda is in a place of peace, because he didn't purposely rebel against God.
But, he isn't in heaven because even one sin will keep you out of heaven. Those redeemed by the blood of the Lamb go to heaven.

Buddhism is about seeking the middle path. Life is neither positive or negative, it is.
Greed, hatred and delusion are all forms of attachment, which is what separates us from enlightenment. Delusion is an important one because so much attachment results from deluded perceptions and interpretation. We seek to understand this through the practice of meditation. That in turn makes it easier to let go of other attachments like greed and hatred.

Wheel of life concept attributed to Buddha, in fact came from the distorted Hinduism.Life is a continuous process-present life is a trial period where a chance for spiritual advancement is given, with the specific physical body.After this a new life shall begin with the embodiment of this soul and journey of its pursuits for nobler and sublimer goals shall continue and never end.Greed, hatred and delusions are inferior requirements of this body not of the soul;as such they shall be no more with the soul of human beings.

Greed and hatred are a product of deluded thinking. The Wheel of Life is positive according to those who use it as a lesson for understanding samsaric existence. If you give me a more specific question perhaps I can answer... otherwise, if you'd like to understand the Wheel in it's entirety, there are wonderful books about it at snowlionpub.com or wisdompubs.org.

Negative. The point of Buddhist praxis is to escape the wheel of birth and death. Greed, hatred, and delusion are the things that keep you in samsara.

Both, positive and negative are considered equal as in the I Ching symbol. Purely positive thinking is Christian nonsense

Are they not three of the 'root poisons' that prevent us from obtaining Navarna? Buddha I would say is in heaven as there are many mansions there (Jesus' words)
