Depends on playstyle i'd say..
Xbow with dex and crit is my choice, and it's working perfect...
My play style is to kite with Cluster Arrows. And mostly I was curious about the Legendary Weapons. Manticore and Windforce are 2 names I've been seeing a lot of lately
I got pretty lucky with a 2h bow with a socket and crit damage for 5 mil and 1.1k dps. It had no other significant stats, but it was a major increase in DPS. I think it is only possible to find these kind of cheap upgrades now because the market has been flooded with so much gear recently.
I think 2h bows are the best cheap upgrades in my opinion. You will do higher damage with the slow firing 2h crossbows, but if you don't have very high critical chance it doesn't matter anyways. Sharpshooter will help until you can afford some crit chance gear, but I think bows give great survivability using gloom because you can hit so many more times. I currently use a manticore, but it was only my second 2h crossbow after making the transition from bows.
Thanks for the info, everyone! I found an entry-level Manticore on the AH (992 DPS, 191 Dex, 79 Vit, 10 IAS, 75 Crit Dmg, 1 Slot) and it was definitely an improvement for me! Hopefully it'll tide me over for a while...

Right now I'm sporting a X-Bow with 1165 dps and 256 dex.
With that weapon my overall Dex is at 2000 and my DPS is 58,000.
