If your Braviary is already level 57, you should probably just use that. But I think Archeops is better in general because getting and raising an Archen is easier than doing that with a Rufflet.

Braiviary is stronger than the rest, but aerodactyle has higher speed. Archeops has the second worst ability in the entire game

defeatist is just too bad

Archeops has much better stats and types than Braviary. Defeatist isn't a big issue when you're outspeeding and OHKOing most of your opponents.

I have used acrobatics on archeops a lot of times and it helped me take over the fighting e4 quite easily (except conkeldurr). Braviary isn't fast enough to outspeed mienshao. Also it relies on brave bird to hit as hard as possible, the only other good flying stab for it is Fly, which might show a slight disadvantage...

Archeops is probably the best flying Pokemon in general. It has good offensive typing, broken stats, a powerful and spammable STAB move, and good coverage moves like crunch and dig. It doesn't evolve too late, and Archen's high physical attack makes it already very useful before evolving. Defeatist isn't a big issue when you're outspeeding and OHKOing a lot of opponents.

However, a high level Braviary is better than a low level Archeops. If your Braviary is already level 57, just use that
