I think the type of map is very important too. If it is a map with a lot of different levels (as in, not flat but a bunch of platforms going up) then it gives a huge advantage to Shadowers due to Assaulter being able to be used up a platform; it has more vertical range than FJ/RS/Tele does since you can jump then use it (I know you can with RS, but it still doesn't go as high). Shadowers are VERY mobile given that they have haste and assaulter is very versatile in moving up/across platforms.
On a flat terrain, it has to be NLs obviously. You can make an argument for Corsairs given the recent change, but honestly how practical is that? You use cannon/torpedo to kill the monsters so you are constantly mounting which takes away time; the corsair scenario is not very realistic, and from personal experience they are less mobile then even a Shadower during training. Mages can be mobile, but you don't realistically utilize it since ultimates hit the whole screen.
