lochness42 has right, it all depends on the situation.

A Short bow i prefer when the enemies come close and while leveling, but a long bow is better for PvP to get in that first shot at the enemy.

Both Long and Short bows have their Upsides and Downsides and they are both good to use, it all depends on the situation.

Short bows are better for hunters, and Long for Marksman, but it's up to you

My Experiment As a Hunter....

Took on Ghost of Slaughter with two bows short and long equiv to my level which is 33. In my experiment the pet used was a Savage Grypho

Short Bow w/Out a Pet
I killed him, but had 10hp left....YIKES!

Short Bow w/Pet
I killed him, had some life left (about 300hp) but not enough to take on two

Long Bow w/Out Pet
I killed him, had about 250hp left

Long Bow w/Pet
I can kill two in a row, rest for about 30 seconds and take on a third and not worry about dying

Results:
I use a long bow. When I get stuff I don't need I'll add it to short bows.

UPDATE:
I did one more thing, I reset my powers and added equal distributions to short bows and long bows. This is a great thing to do in my opinion. Now you become an adaptable fighter AND the passive slots all apply. So, depending on how you are fighting (on your own or in a group) you can select the weapon that best fits the need.
