in what bow/xbow shall i make brand?

I want to make a brand bow or crossbow for my pvm strafer, together with dragon armor, marrowwalks, whisp projector and a carrion wind for a godly spam of (gogo lag) :

1) bonespears
2) Hydras
3) chain lightning
4) Twister

For ias i will have 20 gloves, 20 cats eye and 15 in helm = 55
The chance to cast on striking is cool but i still want to do some physical damage to actually kill monsters in hell.

Now for my question, in what bow crossbow shall i make it, i expecting a roll of +-300%ed:

1) Colossus crossbow 128-364 damage 14/4 strafe, huge str dex but ability to use my coa 30/80

2) Gorgon Crossbow 100-348 also 14/4 strafe little less damage but not as high str req.

3) Hydra bow 40-272 11/3 strafe, Less damage but still ok, mediocre speed high strength

4) Shadow bow 60-236 10/3 strafe, unless i can get 90 ias on my gear wich will give me 9/2 strafe ( i will have to use mavina helm and deaths gloves+belt for this, although i think razortail is pretty important)

5) Great bow 48-208 9/2 strafe with 60% ias (won't be able to use a helm with 15% ias)


Is it worth using a high damage slow bow while i don't have ed on the rest of gear or would it be better to use a faster bow in combination with guillaume helm for some nice crushing blow?

Wich 1 of the bows/ crossbows would you choose? I didnt mention the amazon only bows cause i might wanna give the bow to a merc someday.
