Bow, Gun or Crossbow?

I have a LVL 30 Hunter and have received the training for bows, guns and crossbows. I have been looking at the different weapons and at my level the bow looks best for speed and DPS. However, as I level, which route should I take as it takes time to gain weapon proficiency. Is there a range difference or something else since the Netherstrand Longbow is 110dps/2.9spd vs the Vengeful Gladiator's Rifle and Vengeful Gladiator's Heavy Crossbow are both 93.2dps/3.0spd. Should I stick with bows or is there a time and place for the other missle weapons?
Thanks,
Sargetony

the one with better stats wins
also, if your a troll you should better go towards bows
and if your a dwarf you should better go towards guns

You mean if your a Troll you should lean more towards bows not guns.
Due to their racial abilities.

I'm a night elf 70 BM Hunter and use the Gyro-Balanced Khorium Destroyer. Its great to kill horde with, however at the time there was no comparable bow I could get. I really like the new Adamantite xxxxx Machines.

Also, I'm not sure if you're unaware of this: The Netherstand Longbow is only achievable during a high-level raid boss fight and disappears when you exit the dungeon. Therefore it's not really fair to compare it to any guns.
One thing to remember is that most of the high-level good ranged weapons seem to be bows. But that shouldn't matter a lot while leveling, so just use whichever has the best stats.
