Don't give up on the spells just yet. Insect Plague/Creeping Doom and Nature's Beauty are great. The first two are my favorite anti-spellcaster spells and Nature's Beauty instakills weak opponents, but the permanent blindness-effect it has even when the save vs spells is successful makes it extremely usefull against powerful baddies as well. The only drawback to this spell is that it only affects enemies of the opposing gender as the casting priest. Call Woodland Beings can be very handy throughout the entire game too.
Apart from this, then yea, fighter/clerics and ranger/clerics are pretty much the same. Fighter/clerics tend to be just a bit stronger melee-wise.
