With regards to the topic's unit comparison, I think one must use archmages mainly on the first part of the game wherein a single tank with magic shield could help you a lot. But once you get the relevant medal for resistance, you should drop them for something better.
Demonologists are better for a warrior. With the summons and the warrior's inherent greater rage generation when units hit each other, the demonologist just has better uses. For a paladin, the inquisitor is still better. The +40% damage from the level 3 medal is akin to a 40% leadership discount for inquisitors. With a level 1 cast of the Phantom spell on inquisitors, you could also generate rage from them as necessary, even when the battle goes long and units hitting each other don't generate rage anymore.
But given that you are using a paladin character, why not just drop your paladin units and use inquisitors and demonologists? Too much resurrection already, and the demonologist would be more active in battle for you, and could even provide blockers (and more rage). The paladin is too slow for tanking anyways, you would do better to use dragons, either red or green, which your inquisitors could resurrect (the resurrect spell doesn't work on level 5 units).
