Sherwood Foresters come in units of 12. Not much of a missile threat IMO. Longbowmen come in units of 60. Even if it was possible to choose between them(it isnt), I'd take the Longbowmen. I've never really found a use for 12 man units.

Not even Berserkers. Also Sherwood Forresters have the ability to hide like Hashishin.

I know it isn't usually possible, but I was going to mod them in. But if they arn't as good as longbowmen then I wont bother.

normal unit size, trainable, can hide in open terrain.

Yes, those poor sheep never knew what hit them.

Longbows are cheaper even. Sherwood Foresters would be great if sneaking up on people actually worked how it was supposed to.

Sherwood Foresters are a good unit, but you need to give them more men and make them playable. This is quite easy to do.

I have Sherwood foresteres available in my Mod and they are a unit of 60 men. They seem a lot more deadly than normal Longbows (imho)

I've modded them in now (with extra men) i will prob have a few units of each in my armies and see which gains valour quicker.
