Regarding #3 I know the Elite Cav Shield is a good strong 4 Shield Skill Shield. It can block about 4 shots from an Arbalest, not sure how much from axes since I don't know exactly what the DTV npcs were weilding when they destroyed my shield for those. But against your average 1H sword the thing can just take hit after hit, and it's size makes it easier to block enemies from swinging.

I don't know anything about the other 3 questions though, sorry.

From the guides i've read it seems that each level of Athletics is roughly equal to 4 points of agility so the 4 Ath 21 Agi build would be faster but probably not by much.

As for the one handed you probably don't need more than 50 WPF since it is a secondary weapon, if you put the extra points from 1H into archery I think the build would be much stronger, also keep in mind that every point in power draw is an effective reduction of 14 to your archery WPF.

Lastly the extra point in Power Strike seems unecessary in the second build. If you moved that over to Ath you'd have a much more effective build I think.

Overall I think both builds are good. I think it's mostly a matter of personal preference.

Another thing to keep in mind is that every point in strength increases your max HP by 1 so the 24 Str build would have 59 HP while the 18 Str build would have 53 HP. That could be the difference between dying in 1 or 2 hits, especially with the lighter armor most commonly worn by archers.
You actually might consider removing 1 Power Draw from Build 2 and put it into Iron Flesh so you'd have 57 HP and increase your accuracy slightly, that's a big decision though as some of the strongest foot archer bows require 6 PD. You would basically be trading power for accuracy and survivability.

Edit: Just noticed you said experienced archer opinions. Feel free to disregard my entire post in that case. Although the first sentence isn't opinion so it could be useful anyways.
Edit 2: May want to check out this post http://forum.meleegaming.com/beginner's-help-and-guides/need-help-to-make-a-choice-for-improve-profiencies/ It talks about the value of 1H and Archery WPF for an archer.

Yeah I took the IF and raised 1h WPF over 50 before reading any guides and as soon as I did realized how big a mistake it was. I'll fix it with my next generation. I was reading the HA guide by Miwiw99 and noticed the build he attributes to someone named Jackie was very similar to my own. With a bit of tweaking i've got a revised version of my previous build I'd like input on now.

This new build addresses the wasted points in AGI and beefs up Ath a bit to allow me to move more quickly when dismounted/in a mode that doesn't allow horses. Power Strike still isn't maxxed but those two points in Ironflesh are to blame there, at least I know what not to do next generation.

Also, I don't think you were being rude and I appreciate the feedback.

How does my Archer Build look?

Keep in mind this is my first character and I'm intentionally split between archery and one-handed.
