Q: Which of these builds is best optimized for damage?

Worn KnightI have never played D&D 5e, but I would like to. To prepare for the future, I would like to build a character. Assumptions Start with human variant (dual-wielder feat) take 2 weapon fighting style no rests AL-Legal wielding two rapiers Which of these builds is best optimized for damage? ...

Is this a duplicate of your other question: rpg.stackexchange.com/questions/161921/…?
@NautArch I wrote both questions. However, I thought the question was different enough to make a second post.
I tried making it more focused. If there is anything specific you would like me to do, let me know.
I'm a bit confused by your options; a) each one lists arcane trickster twice, also they are listed separately from rogue, despite the fact that arcane trickster is a rogue. Same goes for fighter vs. battle master, and ranger vs. gloom stalker. For example, I would expect the second option to read: "arcane trickster rogue 15/battle master fighter 5". b) What's a rune master? Is that UA? If so, best to include a link to the UA article, or otherwise note that this is the only homebrew you're considering. c) each option's levels all up to more than 20; D&D 5e only officially supports 20 levels.
@NathanS I believe that those options mean get rogue 1, multiclass into fighter 1, level rogue to 3 taking arcane trickster, level fighter to 5 taking rune master, level rogue to 15, etc.
@Revolver_Ocelot Actually I just took a look at the previous question's answer, and it also says "Rogue 1 / Bladesinger 6 / Arcane Trickster X" as it's first option, which is perhaps what encouraged that style of notation to be used here, although I'm not sure what that means in the context of that answer either! None of the other options in that answer mix base class and archtype (even in that example, we don't see "Wizard 1 / Bladesinger 6" or whatever, so I'm tempted to believe it was just a mistake).

@NathanS You were right. I will edit my question.
I have edited the post. There is likely more spelling errors. I will continue to keep an eye on my post. It will be further spell checked as well as reworded for comprehension. If you comment any errors i will fix them. Also, can my question be reopened?
I don't really see a pathway for reopening this, it just seems too broad. If you're really interested in making this question viable, I'd recommend posting about it on Role-playing Games Meta. We're not going to solve this easily in comments. Or hop into Role-playing Games Chat to see if folks can help more quickly there.
@NautArch can you specify why it is too broad. If i change it to ask , "what is the average damage for each build listed?", would that help? It seems like other questions asking about builds do really well.
Thanks for the link. I've make it an inline link at the point where you first mention that subclass. I've also removed those other links, since dnd5e.wikidot lists content that isn't SRD, so we'd rather not include those links on our site (I think there might be a meta Q&A somewhere about that; if not, another user can explain better than me why those links are not allowed). D&DBeyond tends to be our preferred online resource for D&D 5e, even though some of it is locked behind a paywall.
@NathanS thank you
I edited the post so that is is AL-Legal and add more clarification.
I'm curious why you're planning this character out to level 20 when you've never played at all. Do you even know you'll enjoy playing this character?

@Mark Wells I don't know how long I would be playing this character, to be safe and make the question easier to answer i decided to take it to level 20. Early game this character would do pretty well but falls flat latter on. As for RP I do believe I would like to play this character, I like rouges and magic. Maybe not duel rapiers but something like it. I think its cool: youtube.com/watch?v=88eVTO9_IHA
