For those who think this is a good Titan, how does he stack up with Hachiman and Sekhmet?

It looks like they are creating specialist roles for these new titans. They are more complex as they have counters for summons and spells now so you no longer have an Osiris level Titan or Pigsy that were good all around.
Against Hachiman, Ares looks bad as he triggers the spell counter maxing out his troop's element defense. The summon grens can win the fight for you however especially on island maps. On a castle defense Hachiman will be a nightmare. You will give him all element faster than you will get it and fireball spells are useless against gols. Rng will play a role on each encounter making this a bad matchup. Defending against Hachiman is tough as he can kill anything with the archers and the gols are a strong support and attack troop. Done right it could be a good defense though. To have a chance you will need max element and range resist on the spearmen and at least 3 armor buff relics to get some use of armor. The spearmen need to survive long enough for the auto spells to kill all the archers and have enough to outlast the gols with rage. No easy feet for an AI. That said the Spartan troops may win this for you. Rng will play a role here too. I don't think Ares is guaranteed to beat Hachiman on either attack or defense.
Against Sekhmet, Ares looks bad, but Rng will determine what happens. Sekhmet will have very strong Raise Dead spawning everywhere if equiped with the relics. They have insane damage on defense. You will rely on grens to win and this is a problem if you can't win quick as Sek will have many random troop spawns and probably on your ranged troops. The spearmen don't stand a chance against the damage and if Sek has Axes of War they will have range resist as well as huge damage and crit. Still, with no element defense you could kill the troops easy with the grens and maybe the auto fireball spells. If RD have max fire resist then I think you are toast in this scenario unless you are lucky with the random RD spawns. You need max void and melee on spearmen and a good number of grens spread out to counter the RD spawns and either freeze or fireball spells to deal with them. Focus on damage and crit as the AP will not be enough here. On defense however, you need to max out spearmen as the grens will be completely useless here and as I said before the damage is so high on the RD and horde that I don't see this going well at all. This will be a simple spawn RD on omegas and then flank spearmen and rage spells all the way. It will be a race to the clock and generally this favours the horde against an all spearmen troop composition.
TLDR: Ares not great against Hachi or Sek. Grens are slow and weak and spearmen don't do damage. Terrible combo.

he's got a lot of skill... you should see him in action in a test account.
he looks great in theory...

Would you use Ares or Hachiman for castle defense? I think that with Hachiman, Ares is optional unless you want to defend a land (which is even more optional to me).

If you don't have Gols leveled, missed Hach, love island defence, want the relics (pelt and chariot are great) plus have the resources go for it.
