I think a crossbow would have have higher damage and less range than most bows. And if by changing the durability you mean lowering, which I will here assume, longbows (I believe) will actually weaken the bow, because the wood will bend and slowly take that curved shape. Crossbows aren't always loaded, and the wood (in the mod, metal) wouldn't bend as much, if at all, as much as a bow.
