I originally favored ranged squads for the safety factor but it's not an issue now with offensive 5 and an all melee team (I play mostly melees) seems to be easier for hate management, is there another reason?
Back when squads were release, Archers were the best overall since their AI would have them use a buff at the start and then deal quick spike damage upon the use of Engage. You could've spam Disengage and Engage and those buffs would refresh and they would do them again. SE changed the Archer's AI and reduced their damage some.

Rouge is a better substitute since the nerfs.

I take the double rouge and MRD for the quick kills on bosses. Since target based mechanics (except a few) will always chose you, the player. So the quicker you kill the bosses, the better.

If you don't care about boss mechanics and want to focus on quick trash clears, drop a rouge (or both) and go with Arcanist. Arcanist have great trash kill speeds.
