Swashuckler really should be a better subclass. It's a really fun subclass - the type of Errol Flynn-esque archetype who thinks the only good type of rogue is a dashing rogue. However, while it has a strong theme, it doesn’t have cohesive abilities. You can taunt people, take your turn quicker, and duel enemies one-on-one.

Scout (Xanathar’s Guide to Everything) Scout is honestly my favorite rogue archetype; you gain some survivalist abilities like a ranger but the “skirmisher” ability is just so darn useful. You get to play “keep away” when an enemy gets close to you, and you can sometimes go entire combats without the enemy getting a swing on you. Scout is a terrific archetype, but it requires a certain environment and playstyle to be effective. If you're a melee rogue then it's better to be a swashbuckler for the free disengage. If you're a ranged rogue in a game that forces you to fight in small spaces then it's better to be an arcane trickster, mastermind, or assassin.
