To be honest, bows are generally so dependant on scaling, that fire or lightning is a waste. Physical damage will do just fine, especially with high dexterity. Of course, as crossbows never scale, you can take one of those down the lightning path and load them with Lightning Bolts for some really good damage.

I would reccomend Poison Arrows if you need to take down foes more safely, but otherwise you can make do with just the physical arrow variants. (I'm counting the poison arrow as "Status Effect ammo" in this case.)

However, if you're getting a magic damage bow and high intelligence, you can get a good bit of extra damage with Moonlight Arrows, as they deal pure magic damage. Same applies for Divine/Occult bows with high faith.

Using a (cross)bow with an element and another different element on the ammo might seem like a good idea, but now your damage needs to pass through three defences rather than just two. You're better of focusing on the one elemetal damage.
