I don't claim to hold the truth, but my sources are countless threads I found on the aoe heavengames forums

most players seem to advise masses of skirms, some do like you suggest archers. However, to claim that one is more effective than the other some extensive testing is required. I haven't done that myself, maybe you did if so please let us know. Lastly, I was indeed unprecise in adding the skirmishers in the table because I didn't specify "massed". In some other entries in the wikia the term massed is used in the same type of table, I'll add that.
