Yeah, it really doesn't matter that much.

Journeyman --> Pirate --> Berserker. Why cap his Str at 25 when he can easily do 30?

Archer --> Sniper. I just prefer the Sniper sprite. :D

Garcia's really doesn't matter. He's fine either way...

Berserker because he needs the Crit and the good caps.

Neimi should be a Ranger since Snipers suck.

Fuck Ross

I think he sucks balls. Hell, I'd say your only main Axe user should be Gerik :/

The only (important) thing Hero Ross has on Warrior Ross is SPD. At 20/10, Warrior Ross has 14.1 SPD, where hero Ross has 16.1 SPD. I think that Warrior Ross has a two CON lead (it may be one CON) over Hero Ross, so with heavier axes it cancels out. Let's take samples, however, of how the Rosses DA. If Hero Ross DAs against more enemies, it's the best route because he's maximizing offense. If Warrior Ross doubles more enemies, it's the best route because he'll deal more damage.

Stats used, Eirika's Chapter 19.

Mercenaries: Neither DA.
Knights: Both DA
Myrmidons: Neither DA
Archers: Both DA
Fighters: Both DA
Thieves: Neither DA, Warrior Ross gets DAd
Druids: Both DA
Generals: Both DA
Swordmasters: Neither DA, Warrior Ross gets DAd by Reinforcements
Great Knights: Both DA the Majority, Warrior Ross fails to get 2/6
Heroes: Neither DA
Warriors: Hero Ross DAs significantly more than Warrior Ross.
Snipers: Neither DA
Mage Knights: Neither DA
Rangers: Neither DA, Warrior Ross gets DAd by 2/6
Paladins: Hero Ross DA's significantly more.

Ross wins when neither/both DA. That's 10 clearcut for Warrior Ross. Hero Ross DA's better twice. We'll also give Warrior Ross getting DAd to Hero Ross, that's 5 overall. 10 > 5. Warrior > Hero, as 4 AVD isn't going to change all that much.

I think better offensive preformance >>>>>>> swords rather than bows.

also, the boost is only 2, and 14 speed isn't much of an improvement

2 Spd is indeed a notable improvement when your Spd sucks as much as Garcia’s does. Warrior Garcia gets doubled by every SM and Ranger in Ch. 19, and can even get DA’d by Heroes and Mage Knights, while Hero Garcia avoids DAs from some SMs/Rangers, and avoids DA from all Heroes and MKs.

In Ch. 17, Warrior Garcia can’t even DA alot of the Steel Lance Wyvern Riders and Cavaliers, which is just pitiful (LvL 25 phailing to kill unpromoted enemies = wtfphail), and can’t DA Flux Druids either, which is also just pitiful (they have single-digit AS ._.). And he gets DA’d by the Heroes and Valkyries. Hero Garcia, meanwhile, DAs all the Cavaliers/Wyvern Riders/Druids, and doesn’t get DA’d by any Heroes, and only gets DA’d by one of the Valkyries.

And so forth and so on.

[/i]Plus, Garcia has 00ber str growth, he's maxing str no matter what. 5 str>>>>2 spd[/i]

No, even at 40, he averages only 29.5. And you’re not getting to 40 ingame. Even if you say 35 is the endgame level, Warrior’s cap doesn’t help until the Hero’s cap starts holding him back, which isn’t until around 30. Warrior gets a 0.5 Str lead at 29, 1 point at 30 and 31, 2 points at 32 and 33, and 3 points at 34 and 35. Overall, an average of about a 1.8 Str lead over the course of those six levels.

The Hero’s Spd, however, comes from promo gains, not caps, so it takes effect instantly upon Garcia’s promotion.

2 Spd for 14 levels on a slow-as-crap unit >>>>>> 2 Str for 6 levels on a unit with huge Atk already

And yeah, there’s the Swords vs Bows, as well. Arguable under normal circumstances, but Hero gets a C Rank in Swords, while Warrior gets an E Rank in Bows, and then it’s not arguable anymore. Hero wins. Plus, Hero can riverwalk in Ch. 17. Granted, Warrior has 2 moar Con, but that's not saving it.
