It purely is based on what u like to see more in a unit

Chris Jack

Crossbow Elite for pure dmg and Qiang Guerilla for there higher resistance.
Mongolian Sniper are just super strong vs cav.
It's depend on your still, your resources output (that can be changed though) and what U2 you're choosing.
Since Crossbow Elite need the same resources distribution than some U2 (NA & Goliath)
I usually go for the Qiang Guerilla.

Chris has a good point if your going for double arch it's better to grab Qiang but if your getting cav you can get crossbow elites.

you should choose crossbow elites because Shao got a lot of Tundra which will get very big def

the best would be xbows, the qiang's higher defense is now negated due to the one hitters now and the fact that the defense is so low on arcs that i would prefer to deal out more damage then a few extra points in def

MY argument againt Xbow and Mongolian is the stone cost.  Unless you're using Elephants, then you're using a U2 with a primary resource of Stone, and this conflicts directly with those two U1 archers.  Your primary decision for any U1 should contrast with the other troops you're building (T3 which is also heavy stone and U2).  Therefore the only reasonable choice is Qiang regardless of their stats.  But their stat difference isn't much compared to the other two.  And as for Defense, yes it still is very important, even more now than ever with the new Wall landmarks and defensive skills.  

Remember it's a numbers game, 3 of any U1 is better than 2 of the best U1 (stat wise).
