Hello,
O.K., just for the sake of discussion, let's say that you had to pick and choose your missles weapons. First, the clerics and druids get the slings (and NO reason not to).
Now, (1) what is the best: bow, crossbow, or sling; (2) which is your personal favorite; (3) what about throwing weapons (i.e., "Lover")?

If I had to pick one, then I suppose that I would go with bows, because they are usually faster.
I like the defender bow for character low on AC (fighter/mages) because its stats are still good, but I like Kaylesha's Bow over a few others, what with its speed and +1 dexterity.
On the other hand, you can get an unlimited supply of +2 slingstones in the game and can use a shield with them, but you don't have much in the way of special ammo choices.
