Which archetypes would you choose for each class?   In terms of the fighter, while I would normally lean towards the Battlemaster, doubling our crit threat range with the rogue's sneak attack seems to offer the Champion alot more value.   With the Rogue, I was deciding between the Assassin and the Arcane Trickster. The Assassinate ability is amazing without a doubt, but it can also be somewhat niche. The ability to gain advantage is nice, but not mindblowing, while the autocrit aspect won't come into play in many encounters. The Arcane Trickster on the other hand would, by 7th level, offer me 4 Shield spells, which is a fantastic buff to my defense and I'll have Mirror Image and Invisibility for even greater protection by 7th level. The Assassin looks so sweet, but I can't help but feel that the AT may offer a broader usefulness.   Which achetypes would you choose for each class?

If you were a Rogue 9/Fighter 5, you have 2 helpings of Expertise+extra sneak die and you're that much closer to Reliable Talent.

With all three classes you actually become proficient in every saving throw.   Why do you prefer a straight rogue/cleric?
