Chaername to start this game?

I'm playing Baldur's Gate I with two controlled characters (besides companions): an elf Archer and a multiclass half orc Fighter/Swashbuckler who throws daggers (applies str to damage) and dual wields two daggers in melee. Both are fun to use, and tight now the Spawn of Bhaal is the archer, but i wonder who should pass and make it to be my only controlled PC in Shadows of Amn.

Which one will be more fun in the long run? D'Arnise castle or the ranger's cabin?
