In hardmode, Snipers still do better job than Pikemen, provided they can headshot enemies.
Considering that, "annoying" waves are : possibly 3th and 5th (Spawn of Loki), 4th (Champion huscarls), these bots have a too high shield skill. If you have a barrel you can simply use it for 4th wave and go further.
Pikemen get an advantage due to their speed, kiting einerjars or followers can be easier. Their accuracy may be a drawnback against Valkyries, Tricksters and Jotnes. But if you don't intend to go so far, I'm willing to say that kiting the first few waves in hardmode with a Pikeman is slightly easier than with a Sniper.
Also remember that Jarids are a very cheap option.
After all, you should choose the class you like the most !
