I've been playing MP for a long time and it's great, probably most powerful all-around char in game. Being best thrower provides massive firepower against any target while being the fastest is able to gain distance to almost any enemy. Melee ability is pretty good so MP is not a bad slasher, too. Like Woody said hitting the point perfectly: all you need for MP is CTS and you're strong, the most expensive armour that you really need cost 1m (Pikeman's Heave Plated Vest), a real good polearm costs ca. 500k (Snakes) so it goes really cheap. In case you put your hands on Dragon Breath you become death incarnation. And Woody is right again: MP advantage in throwing over Marauder is significant: better aim, speed & damage.
On the other hand, Marauder is the best slasher char in game. Same stats as Zwei (power strike and skill) but with access to longer and cheaper weapons (comparing damage made pike vs 2H). Throwing ability pretty nice, too, though not a match for MP here. While not slashing, Marauder is pretty capable of throw-and-run tactics mastered by peltasts, too.
Both are really good, so I'd say it's down to the play style you prefer: if you enjoy playing ranged go MP, if you find close combat is more of your liking, go Marauder.
