I guess this may be well known. But looters are actually fantastic for leveling up troops I've found. You need to send your troops though. Looters work well on two fronts. First, and most important, is that on an auto-resolved battle, no one dies against looters, secondly, it seems to me, that troops level up more rapidly in auto-resolved battles than real ones. Maybe due to the player taking kills. Very very handy for those "train up some peasants" missions.

Looters great for leveling up armies (especially borrowed troops).

It's not even due to the players taking kills, they just level up way more during 'send troops' battles. I've taken to just upgrading my army this way because it's so much faster. Play a battle against looters and personally don't do anything: 1 or 2 guys die, 3 upgrade, send troops: no deaths, 5 upgrades.

Recruit
I've lost a few to looters or bandits .... but its RARE.
I took my first castle. Left all my quality troops as a garrison. I took only 10 good cavalry and set out on a HIRE EVERY RECRUIT rampage from all the local-ish towns. (actually I went to only imperial towns) and collected all the recruits. I then hit every bandit/looter band and auto-resolved each battle. After half a dozen of these tiny battle (Each one leveling up 6-10 recruits on average) Before long I have decent troops. After an hour, I was dropping off crack troops at my castle as garrison and filling the holes with raw recruits. Now I have an army of Elites and Legionnaires as my SHIELD WALL. This was STUPID easy. Waaaaay too easy IMO.

Bandits can kill units, looters don't, or at least they haven't in the dozens or so times I've autoresolved against them.

I attack everything: Bandits, Looters, Sea Raiders that I can catch. Nothing seems to be much of a threat. If I don't auto the fight, I lose a few more, even against looters. I could be wrong and am just mixing up casualties from looters and bandits. But basically you have a free ride against looters if you outnumber them and auto-resolve. They're basically peasants with sticks and stones.
You shouldn't even get xp for them after a certain point. Maybe they should stop talking smack to a 100+ army of elites when they bring only 10 guys to the fight. Why would u get ANY xp from them at all? "Hey Sir Bob, We showed those peasants!!! Raaaarrrr!! 50 heavy cavalry sure showed them 5 looters.) Said no quality soldier ever.
Now with recruits, thats fine. "Ok kids, so u want to be a soldier, eh? Well instead of beating up the straw bails, and trees like we have been showing you. You now have to learn to hit a moving target.... go get them."
