There is no "Arch Behemoth" in Final Fantasy, (in fact, the only final fantasy enemies with Arch in their name are the Arch Dragon, from the spinoff game Vagrant Story, and Arch Azul, from the Dirge of Cerberus, released after KH Final Mix), and Japanese-based fansites translate it as Arc, and they specifically define it as relating to geometric arc (極圏)). Thorf, the only one whose actually put time into translating and analyzing a lot of Final Mix, also translated it as "Arc". "Arch Behemoth" was pretty much a name created by English fans only semi-familiar with Japanese, and it seems in most cases they did not have access to the journal entry, while Thorf and the Japanese fansites did. Furthermore, supposing the name as "Arch" and claiming that it means that the Behemoth is a higher class doesn't make sense, because the Arc Behemoth is the weakest version of all Behemoths.
Again, all of the contextual evidence points at "Arc", and all of the authoritative translations claim the translation is "Arc". There is no evidence for "Arch" besides the thought that it is "possible", which goes just as much for "Arc".
EDIT: I did find a Chinese site that translates it as Arch Behemoth: http://www.ffsky.com/ff/zhuanti/KH/fm_4.htm. But again, Chinese.
