Easily Archers, not a second thought or doubt in my mind.

Mass Barbs: Easy Target for Splash damage since they always get bunched up & almost useless when a wall comes up
Minions: Having short range, they bunch up too & air bomb kills them
Gobs: =/
Archers: Good range, good dps, can shoot over walls
