Not me! I'm Bows, all the way. Sure, crossbows do more damage
per hit, but bows are where it's at
per round. Not to mention you get bucketloads more free arrows than you do free bolts, especially magical ones (except in Durlag's Tower, where all forms ammo doth flow plentifully into your waiting palms).

I usually settle for the 'Longbow of Marksmanship'. I guess this could apply to other NPC's as well, such as Montaron, what do you think - Longbow or crossbow ?[/QB]

Monty definitely deserves a Crossbow. Nothwithstanding what I just said about Crossbows, it's good to have 1 party member use them to take advantage of the few magical Bolts that
are offered. Moreover, Monty starts out with 2 stars in Missile and none in Bow, so that's a pretty easy decision to make, as well as the fact that a 4-foot-tall Halfling trying to draw a 6-foot-tall Composite Long Bow is just damned ridiculous.
