Weapon Selection if I Have 2 Archers

It seems pretty clear that if I were to only have one archer that Longbow would be the best proficiency. But if I were to have a second archer should that proficiency also be longbow, or crossbow?

My party:
Undead Hunter
Berserker
F/D
Archer
Swash5> Fighter (this is actually my second "archer")
C/M

I'm asking this from a purely power-gaming perspective.

    I would go for longbow with primary archer and crossbow with secondary archer. Longbows offer high number of attacks per round, but as far as I know there is only a limited amount of magical arrows in the game (at least in the original campaign and HoW). Meanwhile, magical crossbow bolts and sling bullets have infinite availability.
