oplocks - or opportunistic locking - is only of importance when multiple simultaneous access to a file is required - situations where, just for example, the same file is going to be accessed from two locations at the same time.
If the file is only going to be accessed by a single user or process then you can use either setting.
MAP archive relates to the mapping of the file attributes across the two different file systems (in simple terms - the DNS-323 uses a linux based ext2 file system and you are accessing it through SAMBA to make it appear as a Windows based NTFS file system) - Windows uses an archive bit which linux does not have.
This is of more importance to a back up application which will use the archive bit to determine whether or not any given file should be backed up or not, when doing differential and/or incremental backups. For backup I would set MAP archive ON.
NOW - if you are backing up your files using ftp the MAP archive bit setting may have no effect - I don't think traditional ftp clients will pay any attention to it.

Mr Moderator - perhaps you should review the acceptable word list - take a look at the paragraph below and see if you can figure out what is so offensive about it that it deserves to be censored.
Here's the original paragraph.
