Well, out of fighters, it's gotta be the kensai. They're the best guys in the game when it comes to blades and battle. Archers? Ehh, not really my area of expertise so I can't really help you there, sorry bud.

Archer would be:
Elf
Ranger-->Archer
SPoilers~

Give him his profecincys in short bows and when you get it made from the drave in the docks give him the bow of gesen, a bunch of fire arrows, and a couple of haste potion.s Very Very fun.

Arrows of biting and boots of speed are just as good :D

Ironically, 6 Kensais would be a great mix of melee and ranged attacks. Fix two of the kensais up with throwing weapons I.E. Daggers and Dwarven thrower (they can use these) and the other 4 up with various melee profs... Alternatively, you can always take some of those out and put in other members
