Fast lvler: both are fast lvlers, but bow will slow u down if u dont have enough arrows.
Good damage: both, but bows crits more then glavie.
Uses less pots: They both use a lot of mp pots, but with bow u hav to buy arrows.
Nice skills: Bow, glavie skills look boring.
Uses less sp: Glavie
Already answered the damage question
Glaive and Bow are both good builds.

Can't think of anything to add...

Except that any chinese character uses a lot of mp pots. A glavie is probably the one that uses the least, but it doesn't make a lot of difference.

Bow levels faster, due to there range. The arrow buying will not really slow you down.
The overall damage from a glaive is higher, but the crits from a bow are deadly.
Both use about the same amount of MP pots, glaives waste more HP pots during grinding though.
Glaive has nice skills, although the *nicer* skills arent always the most powerfull. Bow has nice skills also, if you want to go for sexy skills go blade and use chains.
Bow on lower levels does significant lesser damage then a glaive, this will catch up on later levels. Just get a bow with a good crit.
