In D&D, at least when I was last playing, there are absolutely *sick* archer feats, and it is easier to up ability or skill scores with magic items (depending on how magic-heavy the campaign is, of course). +1 to AC isn't useless in my experience, and I had a character who reached 12th level with every feat but one that I took giving me +1 to AC, so my second choice would be Dodge.
You sold me with Shot on the run. In the game I'm playing now I have that and love it more than anything.. of course my version is teleport-attack-teleport but its the same thing.
Me: Friend of your sister. You: Character dilema. Ok, first of all, can you convince your DM to design a feat that would give you a +2 Climb and a +2 Balance? It could be called "Nimble" or something. Even if you were only to get a +1 to climb and a +2 to balance it would still be worth it. I'm a DM myself, and I think that I would allow it. But then again, it's not my game. though dodge is very useful, you put yourself on a very extensive feat track that will take you thru level 12 (perhaps even 15). Remember, if you get really good at hiding in trees and such, then you've got at least 1/4 cover without much to worry about falling.
Dodge is a great feat if you are planning on taking other feats that it leads to, like Spring Attack, Shot On The Run, or (my favorite) Elusive Target. If you want to be tougher, Die Hard is cool, but for a warrior you are better off with Improved Toughness, granting an extra hit point per level.
You might also have a look at the requirements for intriguing prestige classes, like Order of the Bow, Deepwoods Stalker, and such.
