Eh, I don't think AoO would make much of a difference, it's just a single hit once per round, they can always just take it and keep moving anyway. I guess Sentinel helps, but it's one more feat to grab and it still does little against several enemies.
Crossbow is just really good since it can hit enemies at range and still be effective melee, prob more than actual melee weapons due to the +2 from archery. Might also be better for defending allies since I can attack enemies near them without having to walk all the way into melee range, having to disengage from enemies on me, etc. Also makes you not useless against flying enemies and enemies with frighten, which a melee character is mostly screwed against without flight themselves and very lucky wisdom saves to not be too afraid to walk close to the enemy.
