Regarding fighting styles:
A wilderness fighter might avoid using shields as part of their fighting style. You want to have a free hand for climbing and navigating difficult terrain. And if you're avoiding shields for this reason, it makes sense to learn tricks from the TWF style or missile combat.
So I think there is some justification for having them select from these two styles, or at least to avoid sword-and-board. But why wouldn't a ranger focus on two-handed weapons such as greatswords and spears?
