Bow:
-lots of kb
-lots of crits
-range

Glaive:
-lots of stun
-some really high dmg attacks
-extra hp
-extra mag def from fan storm

There's obviously more but that's all I could come up with in like 2 mins.

Bow (if full str) levels slower at lower lvls than glavie (glavie has more aoe on lower lvls)
At higher lvl, bow lvls faster

I thought that at first too, at the low levels. Once you get to higher levels though it gets really fun, I might go on to say that it is my favorite build to solo after I hit the 60's. I don't know what it was, I just started to feel like a beast...however, your right about glavie moves, they are so fun, the chains are soooooo smexy.

Pvp-Bow(Vs euros ranged KB).
Ctf-Both
Unique hunting -Bow for sure.
Decent leveling-Bow.

Bow wins mayority.Even if someone were to dispute decent leveling.Im euro xbow,any chinese is slow for me in leveling,but bow is passable.

Well I have both a glavie and a bower in the 70's and imho, I find glavie is more fun in ctf/pvp/etc...I find bower more fun PvE, I don't know why, maybe it's just me because most people I talk to are the other way around, but then again, most people I talk to haven't had both at a "high" level. Isn't that sad, 70's isn't really considered that high level anymore?

Depends on the person and in this case I doubt he will enjoy glavie over bow.

Fastest grinding= bow
unique's= bow
good in solo pvp = bow

Anyway to the OP you should choose what style you like the most because gameplay keeps evolving.

bow= attacking from a save range and using kb + phantom to stay away from your enemy. It will be hard when 2 enemy's attack you cause you can only kb 1.

Glaive= Hitting your enemy mindless with big hits while you can last longer versus multiple enemy's due to magic defense + high hp.

Like ranged attacks - Bow,
Want to level faster - Bow,
Want to farm faster - Bow.

Like unique skills - Glavie.

Bow is fun more or less, but overall less defence.. However, with the addition of new skills. Its a valid option. I would suggest Bow, as im in love with them at this moment. However, i am a believer than.. even on a cap where bow is so highly overpowered.. Other chars can kill them. Glavie being one.

Still, imo - Bow.
