Also, more barbs or archers?
BAM unless you absolutely need to save the DE. I usually just put 2 barracks on barbs and 2 on archers with 30 minions in the dark barracks.
Generally you want a bit more archers as with barbs as meat shields, only way you can reach into a base and take the loot is by using archers. I'm lazy though so I just keep 2/2 On Barbs/Archers.
I am only th8 though
I usally use barch with 2 barracks with barbarians and 2 with archers. Bam is faster training time but it can cost a lot of DE. If you have no concern for DE than Bam will be faster.
What we've said still applies....Quote:

both are good. bam a bit better for farming as it is quicker. barch is a bit more stable as it is a little stronger.
can depend on base though.
Barch as a TH8 IMO. You only have 1 lvl 3 drill at max, and if you're a TH8 odds are you are farming in gold league and there really isn't all that much de to loot (compared to crystal+)
At TH9 you can have 2 lvl 6 drills (4800 de per day) as well as more defenses and a more adequate base to hold your own in a higher league where the de is much more plentiful.
At TH8 you need the De for maxing the BK, dark troop lab upgrades, or saving for the AQ if you're about ready to upgrade to 9.
Minions don't cost that much, but if you use lvl 4's (max for a TH8) and farm with them consistently it will add up to generally more de than you can loot.
Personally, I'd rather save de till you max the king to 10 and have some of your dark troops upgraded but your call.
Both are effective for farming though BAM obviously faster due to having more barracks cooking troops.
