There's no "better." They're both good at different things. Mystic Knight, first and foremost, gets magic shields, which have a huge range of nice effects, and grant you the ability to block. Magick Archers have a good deal of elemental attacks, and balanced ranged and melee combat. The only place the Magick Archer falls short is weapon selection - I was level 35+ before I got a bow beside the Magian Crutch, which is the first bow you get. However, this is less important than it seems, as your Magick Score is what determines your damage.
