It depends on what targets you are fighting. What if there's a flying titan or something like that? Besides, there are too many rangers/hunters sometimes, I just recruit them and give them some crossbows to play with. Birds sometimes can be annoying, they interrupt jobs so you may want to shoot them down as soon as possible.
As for macedwarves, it is said they are good against undead (you know, cutting weapons create more parts, and hammer tends to break bones which has less effect against undead).

Edit*
I recuit soldiers based on their initial skills. If he is a macedwarf, I buy or forge a mace for him. But you are right, it is probably more efficient to give him something else, unless he's already a macelord.
