Ultimately it would depend on your play style (and ping) when playing any of the heros.
For marauder, I like the crush through of mangler but I'm also close to useless with a pike so I've barely used them and probably can't give a fair comparison. Though the base swing damage on PoK (50b) is barely different from the Lucerne hammer alt mode at 49b except the Lucerne hammer ha crush through.
Also like knockdown on brysslstick.
For PC, either of the xbows would be fine. Eagle would be better for kiting I guess but not by much.
For CM, I actually find the deadshot knockdown helps with kiting since the slowed enemy can block up the line of enemies following you giving extra time to make up ground. Plus, the guaranteed head shot on all hard enemies (except bosses) is nice.
For archers, with my usual ping I don't notice a huge difference in damage output between the different speeds of bow so I go for higher base damage.
