Is it really worth trying? Part of me just wants to say screw the arch thrower.

Yes. You get really good upgrades to weapons & armor by catching live aliens with the thrower and then researching them.

I'm trying with it but I'm getting my arse handed to me enough as it is. I keep one just in case I get lucky. Any tactics recommendations? The most effective for me has been the two snipers on over watch. I tried one abduction sequence with two shot guns. I had them bust through the buildings right behind some mutons and smoke them in one shot. I considered myself lucky on that one. The heavy gunner has not been very effective for me. Had a couple of battles where I set him on constant over watch on elevation and he did some work. Otherwise he is pretty shitty.
