Ranged inquisitor -- musket master x / inquisitor x vs. archer inquisitor?

[sojoocy]

PFS rules. Likely won't go past level 10-12, and I've heard archers don't really take off until mid-high levels.

How would these two stack up against each other? Currently looking at musket master 1/inquisitor x but if dex to damage is worth the extra four levels I'm open to arguments for it.

Wouldn't the 3rd level Fast Musket be a requirement?

Gahd daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaangit.

Pls forgive, am noob. Two extra levels for dex to damage looks far more reasonable than four. So, revised question...how would musket master 5/inquisitor x vs. full inquisitor w/composite longbow stack up.

Archers do very nice damage from level 1, especially if human. An inquisitor is near the top end of damage dealing because of bane, judgements, and the usual goods. Accordingly it's rarely a good idea to take levels outside of inquisitor. Furthermore the difference in damage between a gun and a bow is pretty marginal. The gun may make touch attacks for more accuracy but not too big a deal.
