Which Haven heroes do you prefer?

My choice is Axel and Laslo. I don't like Dugal because you have to sacrifice either readiness or retribution. I see many people dislike Laslo because of his slow swordsmen (hehe), but in my opinion, his archers are decent against some opponents, as they will be countered first. As for the swordsmen, they don't need super speed because they have enough armor and double attack to counter races that don't stand still and attack. They also won't have to run far because races like the Elves will be easily defeated. That's just my opinion.
