Swashbuckler/battle master is also really good, and I’d say that CBE is great for any rogue but swashbuckler. It’s a better bonus actionbattack than a dagger or a shortsword, works fine with a rapier in the main hand, and allows you to bop a second dude after face-stabbing the guy in front of you, even if dude 2 is out of your run+melee reach.
Sentinel is beautiful, in a group with multiple melee PCs, but especially with a tank with a mark ability of any kind. They attack you with disad, but you bop them if they attack the tank. I like leaving the enemy no good choices.
My players often build parties that compliment each other. For example one had a Dex based melee Battlemaster. Normally sub optimal started granting attacks to the Rogue or Ranger. Think the cleric had a decent Dex as well and all trained in stealth. Early combat was often the initiative roll mid battle surprise late battle round one maybe 2.
Party was good at ranged, melee, etc didn't matter.
