Which side of the siege are you on?

Dwarf crossbow when defending because high damage reduces ammo use and makes it potentially faster to kill an enemy, and, when defending, you have time to worry about accuracy and reloading because you have a parapet or similar structure to hide behind.

Elf bow when attacking, if you have enough arrows, because you can use its reload speed to lay down some suppression fire. Suppressing fire is simply shooting large volumes of potentially lethal projectiles near the enemy position, to encourage the enemy(ies) to keep their heads down. Also allows you to put out two shots per one shot the enemy crossbowman gets off, so you can potentially knock them back before they shoot.
