Rangers are weaker fighters than fighters (no matter the equipment) but can support the rest of the party better by my understanding.
Having the small arsenal of priest spells makes rangers somewhat better support characters.
While a fighter maybe will manage to deal with the same enemy as the ranger, but he can do it faster and without needing support from the rest of the party...

I find fighters better than rangers.
Sending one fighter to clear the dungeon of the weak goblin hordes is far easier than struggling against the pathing problems while dragging the whole party through every little door to be found in the area...

Also, with this "Psions Blade" Sarevok can clear lairs full of illithids, while with the same equipment minsc would probably still be struggling somewhere.

Now i dont know what the Rangers HLA´s are, but i do know that improved whirlwind attack combined with the Silver Sword can cut down hordes of weaker enemies in no time.
