Max loons vs level 6 archers

Balloons. Even if you like farming more, level 5 archers are good enough for it. Level 6 balloons get like 1/3 of its total dps from that one upgrade. It is game changing.

It's good for war, it's great for farming DE.

Loon, Im at th9 month and half, first i did barb to 6 then war army and spells.
No problem barching in crystal 3, arcjers still 5.

Personally, I feel the upgrade from archers 5 to 6 is borderline whether it is worth doing at all.

I haven't yet, but I have loons 6, hogs 5, giants 6, minions 5, pekka 3, golem 3, currently upgrading witches to 2.

I will probably upgrade archers at some point, but when each one costs 33% extra (400 at level 6, 300 at level 5), for a 10% gain in HP and DPS, it seems hard to justify spending 6 million lix up front on.

So from where you are, my preference would definitely be loons, unless you really like farming, and only want to use barch.

I'd do arch before loons as they are a staple in every army.

Not even close.

For raiding they are a staple of the most common armies. Although even then there are plenty of people above TH7 who raid with armies that only have a small proportion of archers.

For war, they are used mainly for taking out CC troops and little else.

I would do loons first. They are great for cleaning up th8s, doing GoLaLoon at th9 or just using a few of them as backend after a GoWiPe attack if ads are in the core or middle ring. Also donating them to th7/8 dragon attackers is really nice (unless you are a lvl5+ clans and can donate it anyway).

Archers lvl6 give only about +10% more attack/hp. They survive 2 mortar shots and 2 shots from a wizard tower lvl6, so you can fell the difference, but they also get quite expensive, so I would only do them if you have done all other elixir things. At th10 you need strong barch, but fighting th8s at th9 is easy enough and the problem is more finding the loot, not getting it.

They can be used to salvage a 50% too. But yes, I stand corrected.
