Icebolt R9. Durability wasted on your bows that you're taking time and money to upgrade just for PvP isn't necessary when a simple IB will do the trick, what with most people being at 5HP from being camped all the time.
As for Dueling, basically any bow upgraded for maximum damage will work, because you should be getting at least 30% Crit constantly, and most people don't have a large amount of Protection, so you should be looking to get around 45-50% Crit with your bow. Of course, unless you're doing a 1-on-1 EvG match where anything goes and at 100% damage, you probably won't be doing enough damage to warrant getting a good bow that's upgraded to use, since 10-20% damage duels are the norm, so you won't really notice the damage between each bow.
But basically, don't even bother with upgrading things just for PvP, since PvP in Mabi is completely pointless and only a time killer, since the game wasn't built for PvPing.

Longbow upgraded for low balance high crit/dmg. Put any damage enchants on it that add up to at least 16 max, and you should be okay owo;
Or a Spike Comp bow with any random prefix.

If you really care about PVP, you'll ego a wing bow (2600). That being said, the quality of PVP in Mabinogi doesn't warrant such dedication. The Elven Long Bow (2300) is your best upgraded option. The weapon sucks in PVE but the range for an upgraded weapon is top notch.
Those weapons, however, are outclassed when dueling opponents. Crossbow Revolver has always been the most reliable ranged tactic when dueling. The best choice for Elves while dueling is the Ring Bow because it has the greatest stun duration of all ranged weapons.
Icebolt spam is obvious when participating in EVG. Pet Lightning Rod is less obvious but more effective against groups. Speedcast Firebolt is the deadliest strategy while dueling seeing as how no one buffs mana deflector.

I see people use upgraded/ego Wing Bows in PvP. Secretly, I laugh at them. =/
Use a much cheaper, upgraded (for range) Elven Long Bow.

decently fast, decent range, great crit, decent damage. Easy to spike. Cheap to repair, easy to replace. Quick to upgrade.
