Fighter/Thief or Swashbuckler

I havent figured out whats better yet...
Dual classing a fighter @ lvl 14 and getting a lvl 39 thief lvl 14 fighter at the end of ToB
OR
Getting a lvl 40 swashbuckler

On one hand the swashbuckler gets that nifty -8 to AC @ lvl 40 while getting the +8 to dmg and +8 to hit....

BUT

The dual classed fighter/thief would get their THAC0 dropped by 5 more than the swashbuckler @lvl 40 and would get to put more prof. points in whatever they wanted (like bow) while the swashbuckler could only put 2 prof. points in thief weapons and could put 3 in 2 Weapon Fighting Style...

On the other hand by the time your in ToB everything can hit you just fine... But the fighter/thief would be able to use the bow well while the swashbuckler wouldn't...

Suggestions?
