"What?!"
Vanilla is basically a wanna-be fighter with plate armor but less points in weapons. It doesn't feel ranger at all.
I pick stalker or archer when i play ranger.
And the stalker I just plain dislike as implemented...
and R/C isn't a kit. It's other issues not requiring mention. (unless we're talking IWD R/C, which is actually quite nice)
But if you're strictly speaking about the less interesting BG:EE kits, then I'll go with the Beastmaster for roleplaying reasons.

My vote:
Stalker dualled to a cleric at lvl 12 dual wielding clubs and flails
or
Archer dualled to a cleric at lvl 12 (or 16) focusing on slings with a racial enemy of giants. Named David.
I don't suppose the wee lil' bear summons with an amulet of +15 asskickery, a mouth full of ettercap teeth and dragon talons for claws?
Between the flavor connection I feel for archers, and the blatant effectiveness, it was a pretty easy vote for me.
Quick quiz though: which class or kit has the most HP possible at level 1?
Answer: Beastmaster. d10 hit die + 4 from Constitution + 6 HP from a familiar = 20 HP at level 1. This is 3 points better than a dwarven defender or barbarian can do.
