Dark Souls uses ratios to calculate damage, which means the less defense your opponent has, the less damage is required to punch through it. For this reason, I suspect the fire crossbow won't do too well, especially with lightning bolts, because you're splitting your damage.

For that reason, I'd personally say it's generally better to just stack either lightning or physical damage as far as possible.
