I presume you've looked at Douglas Cole's article "The Deadly Spring" in Pyramid #3/33?

The choice between bow and crossbow essentially depends on how much armour you need to be able to get through, and how capable you are of shooting people in the eye at range. Unless your crossbow is huge, taking down people with one shot requires at least a Vitals hit.
