I agree on the uselessness of moose riders(but they are nice to look at), and I think javelineers are quite good, they often deal a lot of damage in 2 rounds.(used on a flank)
More important, you've got no practical access to archer buff spells, so archers aren't going to win your day.
This makes javelineers mores interesting because they deal quite a punch in melee.
