Wow, Crossbows are just amazing! You don't even have to grab an arrow out of your bag you just keep the ammo on the crossbow!
Crossbows are heavy and even in trained hands take a good amount of time to reload. A normal shortbow is more practical, as you can fire off more shots and carry it around much more easily for the tradeoff of less power.....
Which brings me to my favorite medieval weapon!
The Longbow. It can penetrate a wide variety of armors, except for steel plate, has a long range when needed and the ability to be very, very accurate. I don't know about you, but I'd fear a volley of Longbow fire more than I would a Crossbow or Shortbow.
I have another one.
Since i can't choose if i will do ranged or melee i just do them both.
As melee weapon as i said earlier.
The Indian scimitar.
And as ranged weapon i would choose the javelin. It does count as a ranged weapon since you throw it.
Oh, and also the trebuchet.
You can launch huge rocks over your enemy's walls, obliterate soldiers if aimed correctly, and even spread disease or fire through your enemy's city. A weapon in one's hand can only do so much, but a Trebuchet can do all of the above tasks (referring to any hand weapon's), and then some.
Maybe a battle axe. or the knives they use on assassin's creed. Bow and arrow are useful. But i'd have to go with 
either those little ninja dagger thingies, or a ****** trident.
PS:what are those daggers called again???
