Curse

I've recently ascended with my ranger and have been having fun in the various high level areas of the game, but I'm at the point where I have more decent bows than I know what to do with (the happy dilemma). I was wondering if anyone had advice on which of the following bows to keep and which to get rid of...

I've customized an older model (10/10) Drago Flatbow (so sad about the non 20/20), a Firey Shadow Bow of fortiude (+29 r8 14^50), and a Storm Bow (+14 stance +6 vs ele r8) so those I'm stuck with. But the remainder are not customized,

Elswyth's Recurve Bow
Tarnok's Longbow
Drago's Vampiric Flatbow
Ebon Shortbow of Marksmanship (r11 13^50 +1 18%)
Ebon Longbow of Defense (+14 stance R9 arm +5)
(the last twoof course aren't perfect and need better mods, but still useable)

I'd like to keep some for custom use and sell the others. Is there anything in that list that is worth keeping (i.e. will have a useful function for some portion of the game - farming a particular area and such). In particular I'd like to make use of one of the 2 vamp bows, but don't know which would be more useful. So if you had to make a choice based on that list, what would you go with?

thanks a bunch

Elswyth's Recurve for interrupting, PvE or PvP, on your slot#4 quite often. The rest could be improved.
When it comes to farm casters, you need a Longbow with +5 armor (sometimes with a poison string, sometimes with an elemental string). When it comes to fighting hard hitting people, you need a Vampiric Short Bow.
PvP wise, it still feels like you need a composite with 33% poison. But hey, just my .02$.
