I'm around the same range level as you are and considering how high a level black demons are I would choose the crossbow. Knives tend to do more damage on monsters with lower defence whereas the rune c'bow and broad bolts will most likely do better against stronger monsters. I ranged cockroach soldiers for a while and tried a few things out. Void + knives simply didn't have enough accuracy and even d'hide with knives seemed slower xp than void + broad bolts. I can't give any figures though. Always use range pots. Using void + broad bolts I hit up to 30, without I only hit 26. It also makes a noticeable difference to my accuracy. :D While I'm here, do you mind if I ask you a few things? I'm after 99 range and summoning eventually so I'm looking for a way of training both together (I'd like to minimize the time I need to spend at waterfiends later). Could you give a rough estimate on charms and xp per hour rates at black demons?
