You can't compare these equipments.

A crossbow does more damage and can shoot instantly but an elven bow has the superior accuracy and can reload much faster. Spears can be used as ranged weapon too. They have the longest drawback time but do the most damage.

Diamond and mithril armour gives the same protection while mithril has a greater durability.

And you can't even compare how dangerous mobs are. It depends more on the amount of hostile mobs and the terrain (you can hide from ranged enemies in dense terrain) than on the mob itself.
