I am pretty confident that 2:1 ratio is the most optimal one overall.

It highly depends on the situation, if enemy is using mounted units (lots of them) you might make 1:2 ratio, so melee troops can defend ranged troops. On the other hand, if enemy uses large amounts of heavy troops (trolls), then all ranged team will tear them apart.

My tests show that ranged units perform better than melee against any type of enemy EXCEPT cavalry (and players in galvorn armor for obvious reasons :p)
