If price were not a factor, I would definetely opt for the composite long bow +1 (it scores even more damage than the Bow of Marksmanship!). Leave the short bow +1 for your thief, at least until you can obtain a better one in BG city
Throwing knives / darts are much faster to fire, true enough, but if you look closely, you can't place them in your 3 ammo slots, ie. those 3 places are wasted. Bullets for the sling, on the other hand, can go there instead. BUT ... special wpns like darts of wounding have an allure all of their own... (especially for enemy mages )
The speed factor and damage range say it all - the morning star +1 is definitely better.
