I play a 50 scout and love him. Currently albion scouts hibernian rangers have access to the slowest bow in the game (duskwood immolated bow, 16.5 dps, 5.8 spd.... midgard hunters version is 5.3) thus making them capable of doing the most damage in one shot.
Scouts have access to specline shield, hibs dual wield, hunters use spear.
Scouts have the longest range of all the archer classes.
Each class definitely has it's ups and downs. Depending on your playstyle, you could pla any of them and be happy with your choice.
