Wild Style! (Trade combat feats for wild shape) :smallbiggrin:

Out of the options, I guess Mounted since it's a formidable fighting style (when you have a hardy mount, and ranger can) and gives two not-bad feats first. Some of those options, the 1st and even 2nd feat are just...garbage. I mean, 2H is the best way to go, but unless you're not planning to see Ranger 6+ anyway, Strongarm is just a horrid set of feats (other than PA). Runner up would be Archery, which actually gives a good set of feats, but...archery is weak and under-supported in 3E. You *can* make it work, especially w/ Swift Hunter, then archery style gets much better.

Yeah I'm gonna say archery style. Just take power attack at level 1 and your as good at THF as someone who took strong arm style but you avoid being a massive chump.

Having the archery stuff is nice just so you can go both ways even if archery kinda sucks.

Oh yeah, and as always, wildshape is still the superior option.
