Bow-Breaking: If you or the enemy is hit with a melee weapon while having a low quality bow or crossbow in hand, that weapon is broken and Completely destroyed.
Arrow Weight: A script in requiem adds weight to arrows, it does not show up in your inventory menus, the 'weight' is added instead to a Quiver object in you misc page.
Damage Resistance: Various enemies in the game gain resistance when show with arrows.
Armor Penetration: Arrows once a certain perk is learned, penetrate a percentage of armor.
Crossbows are great backup weapons. They fit a Backup Archer best. Stealth Archers already get nasty amounts of damage penetration via the Deft Strike perk and Gruesome Shot, They'll already have an Armor Penetration of 75% already, and with the innate AP of a crossbow being multiplicative instead of additive, it won't add much. In addition, Crossbows take much longer to reload, and can leave you hanging when you need to get out of position. A bow will be better in the longrun.
An archer, and a pure archer especially, would lose out on DPS and reliability by choosing a crossbow over a bow. Not to mention you have to go through the entire crossbow reload animation before which leaves you quite vulnerable. (unless you don't mind cheesing by constantly holstering it)
Light bows consume much less stamina than Heavy bows. They, in turn, do less damage (usually about half as much of its heavier equivalent)
They are ideal for characters going through early game content without supplements such as Bestial Stew to help them mitigate the intense stamina drain of early game Heavy bows.
Unfortunately for them, as soon as you get the level 60 perk Quick Shot, they become inferior to Heavy bows. The draw speed increase they get is minimal, whilst Heavy bows get a huge increase in their draw speed, allowing them to easily outDPS lighter bows, with more efficient arrow usage, too. Sorry, Light bows
Light Bows: Hunting, Wooden > Ancient Nordic > Elven (Smithing 50) > Glass (Smithing 75)
An archer's best friend (unless your friend is too exhausting to play with and you can't compensate with stew)
You can easily compensate for its stamina drain by using Bestial Stew, if available.
If your race cannot drink Bestial Stew, and you have serious stamina problems, I recommend switching to a light bow until your stamina is adequate or until the level 60 perk Quick Shot.
Heavy Bows: Long, Imperial, Iron, Steel > Dwarven (Smithing 25) > Orcish (Smithing 50) > Ebony (Smithing 75) > Dragonbone (Smithing 100) > Daedric (Smithing 100)
